Before You Marry, Look Beyond Love and Chemistry

Marriage is a personal decision, but it should not be made in isolation. Let trusted friends and family meet your partner, not to choose for you, but to offer perspectives you may have missed while in love. Take time to understand your partner’s values, finances, family relationships, temperament, faith, career goals, approach to conflict, expectations about children and views on fidelity. Compatibility is more than enjoying each other’s company; it is about whether you can build a stable life together. Listen to credible concerns, but do not treat rumours as facts. Ask questions, seek evidence and give your partner a fair chance to explain. Your loved ones should not make the final choice for you, but love should not stop you from thinking carefully before marriage.
