1. When is the right time to have the ‘marriage talk’?
Marriage is a big commitment and deciding on when to have the ‘marriage talk’ with a partner can be quite daunting. Someone who had been in a relationship for long would definitely want to initiate this conversation but if it’s not done at the right time, the consequences might not be as expected. So, here are some important factors to take into consideration before you have this big discussion with your lover.
2. You trust your partner
A popular saying goes something like this—“I trust you” is better than “I love you” because you may not always trust the person you love but you can always love the person you trust. Sometimes, you might be with someone for years yet you would think twice before trusting him or her with your life. Trust is something that can make or break a relationship, therefore it’s very important to know how much you trust your partner before you talk about marriage.
3. When both are emotionally inseparable
The heady passion of new love can be very intoxicating. Similarly, the first few months or years of marriage can be an unforgettable romatic experience. But boredom creeps in as soon as passion tones down. This is the time when emotional connection between the two people keeps them together. It’s is very impotant to be emotionally compatible with a partner before getting married.
4. Financial stability
Money cannot buy you happiness but it can definitely buy you things that can make you happy. And marriage is a serious commitment where financial responsibility plays a big role. From house rent to household expenses, the amount of money needed to maintain a comfortable lifestyle increases after marriage. So, it’s wise to think about getting hitched only after reaching a ceratin level of financial security.
5. You have fights but resolve them together
Where there is love there will be fights but only those who know how to resolve their differences amicably are ready to take their relationship to the next level. Marriage requires a lot of work and resolving conflicts play a big part here.
6. You dream of a future of togetherness
When you think about a future and see your partner in it, you are almost ready to take your relationship to the next level. We meet a lot of people in our life but we can dream of sharing our life only with a special someone. And when you are sure that your partner is the right person, you should let him or her know about it.
