\nBelow are 7 important issues to sort out with your partner before saying \u201cI do\u201d<\/p>\n

{{1. WHY ARE WE GETTING MARRIED}}<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important you understand why your partner wants to settle down with you and why you also want to settle down with your partner. You need to understand what marriage means to you and your partner. This will ensure you don\u2019t marry for the wrong reasons.<\/p>\n

{{2. HOUSEHOLD CHORES}}<\/p>\n

Not discussing this might lead to issues so quick in your marriage. Most men expect their wife to do it all but sharing household chores between partners help foster unity in the home.<\/p>\n

{{3. SEX}}<\/p>\n

You need to understand each other\u2019s expectations when it comes to sex. The subject of sex can ruin a marriage so it\u2019s important you discuss this before marriage. Knowing your partner\u2019s sexual expectations and working out a compromise in situations where needs and desires differ is really important.<\/p>\n

{{4. RELIGION}}<\/p>\n

This is really important if you and your partner have different religious beliefs. There should be an agreement to support and respect each other\u2019s beliefs.<\/p>\n

{{5. IN-LAWS}}<\/p>\n

Before saying \u201cI do\u201d, you and your partner need to talk about boundaries when it comes to your parents and in-laws. For you to have a successful marriage, the needs of your spouse must come before the needs of your parents. Parental interference should be reduced to the barest minimum.<\/p>\n

{{6. CHILDREN}}<\/p>\n

The number of children you plan having is also a crucial conversation to have with your partner. If you don\u2019t intend having kids, it\u2019s important you let your spouse know before marriage and not after marriage. You also need to discuss the expectations for your children.
\n{{
\n7. FINANCE}}<\/p>\n

Problems with finance are one of the major causes of divorce so you need to ensure you talk about this before marriage. If you have debts, it\u2019s important your partner knows about it. You should also ensure you are open about your finances and discuss who pays for bills, how much should go into savings and stuffs like that.<\/p>\n
