What do you take into consideration before marriage?

I just broke up with my girlfriend recently. But I do have thoughts of getting married some day. Some of the things I would consider are: 1. Readiness of heart and mind. It is not enough that we feel love (we get electrocuted when the person we love is around), it's about being able to make firm decisions and stick with the decision that you make. Meaning to say, that despite the shaking and troubles, you will stand firm on the decision. And deciding to get married is one of the decisions you have to stick with for the rest of our life. 2. Financial stability. I know it would be very idealistic but I as much as possible I would want to be financially stable before I would settle down. 3. My partner. I would want to marry the woman who loves me and would love me back. I know it sounds selfish, but I would want to be with someone who's happy to be with me till we grow old. 4. Family. If possible I would love to marry the woman who is fully accepted by my family. And who's family who would welcome me to be part of their clan. Those are just my ideals. Just wanted to share. Good luck to your relationship. God bless. Wish you the best.

Hello! there There are so many factors needed to take into considerations before getting married. First and foremost, make sure you love each other and known each other for at least enough time that you get to know each others attitude, likes and dislikes, hobbies, strengths and weaknesses. Another thing is how ready are you both physically, emotionally, mentally, and above all spiritually. We should always remember that GOD is a very big factor to be included especially in making major decisions in our lives. You and your boyfriend should both become prayers partners, searching and knowing God's will for the both of you. God speed! =)

i think the important thing is that both of you are ready to go further and take another step of your relationship.

Yourself...you should be mentally,physically ready. Of course not to mention financially. You need to be sure of yourself,that he is the one for you,and that you are willing to live with him the rest of your life. Good luck and wish you all the best of everything

Hi rdmcollamat, I think before you get married, you should take into consideration how you two get along, and handle tough or stressful situations together. Also, if you haven't lived together yet, it may be wise to try living together before considering marriage. Relationships often change once you are spending 24/7 together. You no longer only see the good sides of each other, and there are often more arguments since you do not have much alone time.

You should take into consideration does he make you truly happy, do you understand each others goal and life dreams, and are you willing to compermise some things so you can make things last and work.
