1. YOU CAN’T WIN EVERY ARGUMENT
If you love winning every argument, then you are not ready to get married. To make your marriage work, you need to understand that you can’t win every argument with your spouse. You would need to compromise and be tolerant of each other’s faults to make your marriage work. If you are not ready to tolerate and compromise, please you are not ready to get married.
2. FINANCE IS IMPORTANT
Most divorces today are caused by issues relating to finance so you need to understand that finance is very important if you want to get married.

You have to be honest about your finances and talk about the financial obligations of each partner.
