When can we say, "I've done my reality check" before getting married?

Undeniably, the need to discover our purest and genuine reasons for entering in such a new way of living, not to mention the infinite possibilities of happiness, assures us with the benefit of peace in making such decision and leaves us to the very least a satisfied, responsible way of handling the relationship. Perhaps, it is a way of working to make not only a happy marriage but also equally important, a successful marriage.
Although, understandable as it is for some to have a comment like, "Just the thought of it makes me tremble with fear", the fact is, it is a highly recommended act to understand why in order to make people get the benefit of the doubt, for sooner or later it is possible, bachelors will miss the timely oriented opportunity of marriage. Yes! Yes! I get it! It depends on an individual. Old dogs are pretty much capable of learning new tricks. Like it or not, it has been a rampant ideology among young individuals to have what they say, FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN. And it is costing our generation much to the dismay of our future. One reason? Because of this fear of the unknown, it is possible for young individuals to think that MARRIAGE should be prevented, and only be considered under certain foreseeable advantageous circumstances such as the certainty of LOVE and HAPPINESS. But if we stop there, the thing is we have to understand that the most appropriate way of handling the fear of marriage is to understand that good preparation early in our adult life in all aspects of our being and a good observation of our parents or perhaps some couples, is one sure way of making a good decision. Marriage don't come as a surprise there's always a precursor until one gets in the verge of a big decision. We should be in good control of our lives rather just always reacting, to the very least, we should not be just merely victims of circumstances.

Hi there!
Season's greetings!
The core idea will be the valuable lessons a person can get in reading and understanding the entire discussion with the comments made by reasonable people in the pursuit of enhancing the topic. It would be very unfortunate to have a very limited view about a significant issue of our generation by just looking at the introduction. Nevertheless, I sensed your cause, that is why I do appreciate your effort to think about what is the main idea. Well, what do you think?
More power to you!

I just became engaged in September and am getting married at the end of May. I have given it a lot of thought since then. I love my fiance very much, and we are different from each other but are willing to work through that. I believe the number one cause of divorce is a lack of communication. My fiance is definitely the better communicator, and if we get into a quarrel he is always the one to get me to talk. But the important part is that he doesn't let us stay in a "fight"...i.e. not talking. It is a huge task for him, I internalize nearly everything. I believe we are so perfect for each other because he does not let me stay quiet - he will get me to talk - whether it is telling him why I am mad at him, or working towards apologizing to each other. It's funny, sometimes he would prefer for me to just yell or be mad out loud at him because the silence nearly kills him (not literally but you know what I mean).
I have also since our engagement begun to notice more of his habits and vices - but I constantly ask myself - can I handle that? The answer is always yes - and I believe he is the same way. We respect and love each other deeply and do so with the highest regard for the other person - after all why wouldn't we take the good with the bad? No one is perfect...
I have a feeling a lot of my post is jumbled up, but I tried... :)
