As much as marriage is seen as a part of a life achievement following the way the society has painted it to look like, a lot of persons have gone into marriage and left almost immediately without spending time with spouse.
The euphoria marriage and its processes do come with is such that most times little or no precautions are taken or necessary things are overlooked which may at the end turn out to bridge disagreement or raise issues in marriage.
Check out for thing to look out for before marriage:
1. Spouse readiness
Do not get shocked when you see someone walk out of a marriage two months later, getting into marriage is one thing and getting ready for it is another thing.
Partners who have not prepared themselves may find it difficult to be in a marriage.
Partner’s should be prepared, psychologically, financially and socially.
Before getting in to marriage be sure to be able to keep up with the mental stress that come with it. As opposed to the thinking that marriage is a “bed of roses”.
Partners should not rush into marriage because they feel that they are left behind probably among friends or family member. Instead, the both parties should make sue that they are ready for whatever that come up during their stay as husband and wife.
2. Financial Status
The saying that love covers everything tends not to be applicable to this. The both parties should have a means of taking care of themselves. Finances can come from the prospective husband or wife.
Stories of some broken home today is as a result of poor financial status of the family which mostly come from the male counterparts.
In as much as financial help could come from any of the partners, the man should have attained to a certain level of financial balancing before thinking of getting married.
3. Relationship with family members
This is an important factor to know before entering into marriage. What does the relationship between the man and his own family looks like or the female, vice versa.
Will they have people to run to when issues arise?
It can be dangerous to venture into a marriage without the backing of family members. As common as it might look, there should be a strong bond between families in the case of marriage.
4. Impending conflict
In marriage, always know that once in a while that conflicts may come up. Having a prior knowledge of this before entering into marriage will give the partner the ability to get through it. But when a partner goes into marriage without such thoughts and conflicts arise, it may become difficult to manage it there by leading to broken homes.
5. Understanding each others beliefs/ values
Remember that you are not getting married to yourself, in as much as the two partners have common values and respect each others value before getting married, there may still be occurrences of having to disagree over little issues.
Understanding each others values will help to know how to tackle such issues or even prevent them from happening.
