How To Know You Are Ready To Marry

"All you need is love.
All you need is love. 
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need"
                                                                                      John Lennon/Paul McCartney

Is love all you need?  Yes, it is one thing that  better be present in any pre-marital relationship.  Yet there is more.  

How do you know if you are ready to marry? 

Love is a choice.  Love is more than an emotion.  Love is more than a feeling. 

What would you need to know before you make a decision to marry?

Here are some questions to consider before setting the date to marry:

• Why are you getting married?  What is the motivation to marry?  Always wanting to be married is not a reason.  Not wanting to be alone is not a reason.  
• Have you communicated your needs to your partner? Has your partner communicated their need to you?
• What are you expectations?
• Do you really know your partner?  

• Do you know your partner's history? Are there any red flags that are indicators of trouble?
• Have you  and your partner done an autopsy of your last relationships?
• Are you moving away from something in your life or towards something in your life?
• Do you complain more than address issues with one another?

Marriage needs to be based on a decision not an emotion.


Choose wisely.
