4 Things to Think About Before Committing for Marriage
Marriage is a tricky question for many. While someone people get married soon after they start dating, some keep postponing it even if they have been living together for years. When you make a commitment to get married, you are also making a commitment to change your life, accept his family as your own and make a lot of sacrifices. It is not an easy decision to make unless you are completely sure of what you want and if you are okay with the idea of a marriage for a long time. The truth is some people are born to get married and stay married forever while some just aren’t. This is not a fault but just the way men and women are made. If you are planning on getting married and you make a commitment to get married, there are a few things you will have to think about. Here are some.
1. See if the two of you have the same expectations from the marriage
You both might want to get married to stay together but can have different expectations from the marriage. He may want to have kids immediately while you may want to wait for a few years or do not want to have kids at all. Kids are an important part of a marriage and the decision to have or not to have them can have huge implications later on in your married life. This is something that you have to think through and discuss before you get married.
2. Think of what you will have to change about yourself and your life and make sure you are ready for it
You have to think about all the changes you may have to go through after getting married. I can be a change of address, a different place, you may have to stop working or start working, make friends with his family and much more. Think through each and every thing, however small before you take the plunge. You do not want to regret having made a hasty decision later.
