I'm not married, neither am I getting married any time soon. I just feel I should share the things I'd consider before making someone my everlasting companion. I've heard couples wish they had communicated their expectations about married life before tying the knot. If you're thinking about getting married, you and your partner probably already have a lot of things in common.

The experiences you share in your relationship will serve as the foundation for your marriage. At some points, the excitement of deciding to get married dies down a little, thereby making it boring, overwhelming or scary.
1.Do you love him just as he is?: Only God knows where some ladies got the idea of "I'll change him when we get married" from. That specific thing you detest about your guy now will really grate on you after marriage. Don't kid yourself into thinking he'll change once you're married. That's a blueprint for disappointment. Ladies, decide what's a dealbreaker and what's not before your boyfriend becomes your husband.

2. Do you really love him or it's the idea of getting married that's playing soccer in your brain: Don't get married just because you're caught up in bridal excitement or it seems like it's the next thing in your life or because your friends are tying the knot.

3. His financial situation : Beyond his salary, my sisters, know how much he has in savings, how much debt he's carrying is really important. I'm sure you don't want any surprises after marriage.

4. How many kids you wanna have: Some couples don't want kids. Sit down with your fiancé and have a true heart-to-heart discussion. If you're not on the same page, you'll have to compromise in a big way.

5. Talk about religion and values: They might not seem like a big deal now, but religion and morals play a bigger role in marriage than some couples expect. For a lot of people, fights happen when the other person turns out to be more religious than they thought. You might go into marriage not caring, but the problems start as the children arrive and you're deciding how to raise them, so, talk about your faith and how you see it affecting your shared life right now.

Your boo must be a very luck guy. Such an intelligent write up.

Truly, marriage is not for the faint-hearted. It's always good to consider a lot of things as you mentioned.

Reference to #1: There's no such thing as potential. You either take him for who he is right now Or leave him alone.
