10 Things Every Couple Should Do Before Getting Married

 

Couples that are planning to move forward with their relationship need to know each other better. They need to understand how each other think, react and adjust to different issues. 

Rushing into a marriage without fully understanding your spouse is a very big mistake so we are bringing you things you should absolutely do with your partner before getting hitched.

1. Have a big argument - Constant quarrels between lovers isn't a sign of a healthy relationship but getting into an argument once in a while can be considered as a good sign because you can test your level of tolerance. 

2. Get To Know Your Mutual Friends - Get to know who your spouse hangs with. The statement 'show me your friend and I will tell who you are' is true. Who your spouse hangs out with tells a lot about their personality.

3. Show Your Bad Habits - Usually at the beginning of every relationship, most people don't show their true nature. When you see a future with someone, getting really comfortable is necessary. Know every little detail about your partner. 

4. Understand Your Partner's Life Goals - This can't be overemphasized. Know everything your spouse aspires to be and help them achieve it.

5. Have A Pet Together - Ensure you know how your partner can handle such a responsibility. This will help in knowing how they will handle the family.

6. Meet The Parents - We can't emphasize how important this is. Get to know where your partner is from, his parents, household and understand how he/she was brought up.

7. Go On A Vacation Together - Travel with your partner. Go on adventures and learn each other's hobbies and likes. What they like to do for fun and how they relax.

8. Live Together - This is like a test on how it's supposed to be when you get married. Move in together and see exactly how it will look like for the rest of your lives. Staying together will help in understanding each other's flaws and more.

9. Discuss Kid's names - Have a discussion  on how many kids you want and their names, both male, and female. This just shows how serious the relationship is.

10. Their Stance On Divorce - No one goes into marriage expecting a divorce but it's important to know.
