3 Essential Questions to Ask Before You Get Married

Preparing for a lifetime partnership requires more than love and attraction. Before you vow “for better or for worse,” make sure you and your partner are aligned in faith, growth, and transparency. 1. Shared Faith: Does your partner have a genuine relationship with Christ? To walk together in life, you need to move in the same spiritual direction (Amos 3:3). A shared faith creates a strong foundation that looks alone cannot provide. 2. Mutual Growth: Are you both growing spiritually? The apostle Peter urges us to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour” (2 Peter 3:18). Couples who develop together avoid drifting apart over time. 3. Family Background and Openness: What burdens might you share from each other’s past? Knowing a partner’s history and hidden struggles helps you carry each other’s burdens (Galatians 6:2) rather than being blindsided later. Honest transparency lets the past lose its power over your future.
