How to Build a Relationship That Can Lead to Marriage

If I want a relationship to lead to marriage, I need to define my intentions early. Setting a realistic goal can help me assess whether a potential partner shares my values, plans and vision for the future. I should not ignore major incompatibilities, but I also need to be honest about what I can accept and manage in a partner. A lasting relationship requires honesty, trust, kindness, forgiveness, patience, tolerance and hard work from both people. Prayer and spiritual commitment may also help couples who value faith. Challenges, misunderstandings and outside opinions can arise, so clear communication and courage are important. I should treat the relationship with seriousness and respect if marriage is the goal.
