When To Consider Marrige

When is the right time to consider marriage? This question is difficult to answer and in my opinion has no “right” answer. Marriage is a commitment between two people to share their life time together, become each others life partners. In my opinion you need to date for at least one year before you even consider marriage, but this doesn’t always prove true. Some married couples have known each other for a few months or even weeks and have had a happy marriage for years while others dated for 3+ years and end up getting divorced. It all comes down to how well you know your partner. Before you start thinking about when the right time to get married is, try to answer these questions first.

Can You Solve Problems Together?

Some couples are able to coast through dating troubles and are in for a shock when their first conflict hits while they are married. Conflict is an unavoidable part of life and it can destroy a couple who isn’t prepared and hasn’t learned how to deal with it properly.

Do You Take Care Of Each Others Needs?

An important aspect of marriage is “if it’s important to you it’s important to me”. People are naturally takers, so it’s going to take a great deal of effort to become a genuine giver.

Do You Trust Them?

A relationship is nothing without trust. Trust is one of the number 1 things you need to have if you plan for your marriage to succeed. If you don’t trust each other think twice about getting married.

Do You Want The Same Things In Life?

This is something that needs to be discussed before you two get married. You two need to be on the same page in terms of your values, priorities, and life goals.

Are You Financially Stable?

One thing few couples fail to do is make sure they are financially stable for marriage. If you are living with your parents or struggling to support yourself, you are not ready for marriage.

Marriage is a big step for every couple and you need to make sure that you and your partner are both ready for it before you take that step.
