Marriage, for the most part, requires a lot of commitment and compromises. Getting married means it’s also more than being in love.
Here are particular things you need to know, just before you tie the knot:
Marriage is not a contract
The moment you realize that marriage is not just a contract where you can up and go, the better. Understanding this will make you more aware of what you’re going into so that you can be certain about everything.
Love but Respect More
More than often, our hearts can have a little ‘’fault’’ and cease to love just for a while. During these times and even when love is there, respect is very necessary. See it this way; respect will mean not doing something you wouldn’t want your spouse to do to you.
Issues will be heightened not reduced
If you think getting married to him/her would reduce your drinking problem or your flirting, you’re very much mistaken. It will most probably heighten your flaws and place it in a microscopic view. It’s best to fix yourself first before committing.
Your Spouse isn’t going to Complete You
You own yourself. Technically, more than half of the reasons why you do the things you do is because of your personal conviction, discipline or mindset. Having the ideas that your spouse will complete you can be very disappointing.
There are times you’d doubt you’re in love
Love can be fickle sometimes. You’d totally start to think with your head a whole lot more than before. In fact, the first few months after the honeymoon can be boring and lifeless. It may feel as if you’re single all over again.
Be aware of your spouse’s finance and Source
This is a necessary step t start a family. Being aware of your spouse’s finance and its source saves you from every form of stress. It also helps you with planning a whole lot better.
