Taking your relationship to the next and very serious level of marriage must be thought out. Love at first sight happens, but it’s rare, and it’s the exception—not the rule. Before you decide you’re ready to buy that ring and ask your partner to marry you, ask and answer these seven questions first.

1. How often do you fight? Having arguments is a natural part of two people being together. However, if you fight more than you kiss, that should be a huge red flag. An argument here and there keeps things interesting, but constant arguments over things that aren’t that important is a sign of things to come. Marriage has legal ramifications, so before you decide to take the leap, examine how much you fight and what you fight about.

2. Do you know each other’s history? You don’t have to know every single person your partner has slept with, but you should have a clue. There may be something major or scary that could affect your health, and that should factor into your decision. A conversation where you give each other an overview should do the trick.

3. Can you tolerate each other’s families? Marriage means you’re marrying into another family. You don’t have to love your partner’s family, but you should be able to communicate civilly with them. If there is outright hatred, it will have an effect on your marriage.

4. Is your sex life smoking hot right now? There’s a common joke about sex being cut in half when you’re married. I can’t tell you if that’s been scientifically proven, but if your sex life is boring or dead now, that’s not a good sign. In the dating stage of your relationship, you should be ripping each other’s cloths off, and sex should be an exciting part of the relationship.

5. Are there things you have to justify? If there are things you have tried hard to ignore but bother you, it’s time to get honest with yourself, guys. You can only hold the truth back for so long, and marriage is a serious commitment that you need to be sure about.

6. Do you have a solid financial foundation? You don’t have to be rich like Bill Gates before getting married, but you should have a sure footing. Married life and what follows can be expensive. Before you get married is the time to save a couple of bucks and maybe do a few fun activities. You can set yourself up better than most men if you start creating that foundation now.

7. Do you have the same goals and dreams? A supportive spouse can be the difference between success and failure in life. An unsupportive one can kill a man’s dreams and goals. You have to communicate and see if you have the same vision for what your dream life looks like. If you realize that your partner is willing to settle for complacency, it may not be the best fit for your life.
