Marriage is a beautiful and exciting moment, but we are often so busy organizing the wedding that we forget the most important thing, the relationship we will have after it.
Some couples fall in love quickly and get married without much thought, but others realize that even after many years together they don't really know their partner. Before you invite people and find the dress of your dreams, make sure your relationship is healthy, talk openly and honestly with your partner.
Here are 8 topics that will save your marriage if you discuss them before the wedding:
journeys
According to life coach Bill Murray, travel is the best test of love. If you can travel together, weather the hardships, and still be in love at the end of the day, then get married.
money
Talk openly about finances. There should be no secrets about this part of marriage, because financial problems are among the leading reasons for divorce.
Family
You marry the person, but also their family. Get to know your partner's family to understand their values, traditions, and avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Religion and politics
These topics are often a source of contention. Discuss them before marriage, especially if you want to start a family together.
Wishlist
Make a list of things you want to do together, from the most normal to the most bizarre. This helps to create a stronger bond and get to know each other better.
Expectations
Discuss openly about expectations from marriage and the relationship. Communicating without fear of judgment is key to a healthy relationship.
Children
Do you want children? How many? Is adoption an option? Talk about it so there are no surprises later.
conflicts
Learn to resolve conflicts like adults. Arguments are normal, but how you handle them shows how strong your relationship is.
