In order to avoid divorce, there are certain conversations you should have with your partner before getting married. Check them out below:
1. FINANCE
Issues with finance have destroyed many marriages so you shouldn’t waive it off as unimportant. You and your partner need to open up about any outstanding debt you might have, and what your approach to money management will be. As couples, it’s important you come to an agreement on how you handle your finances before getting married.
2. SEX
I have read about several marriages ending due to sexual problems in the marriage. Before you get married to your partner, it’s important you have a conversation about sex in your marriage. Discuss your sexual needs with your partner to ensure you are compatible sexually.
3. THE THINGS YOU WISH YOU COULD CHANGE IN YOUR PARTNER
Having a conversation about the things you wish could change in your partner is also important before marriage as this gives your partner a clue about the things you don’t like in him/her. Going into marriage with the secret hope that something will change about partner is a dangerous thing to do.
4. KIDS
Having a conversation about kids with your partner is something you should do before getting married. You need to know if your partner wants kids (don’t just assume they want kids), the number of kids your partner wants and how you intend bringing up the kids. Disagreements about the proper way to raise the kids can cause a huge friction in your marriage.
5. YOUR IDEAL MARRIAGE
We all have this picture of the kind of marriage we want for ourselves and it’s important we have a conversation about our ideal marriage with our partner before getting married. It’s important your partner knows your expectations for the marriage and vice versa. Resentment can creep into marriage when one or both of you feel their expectations for the marriage isn’t been met.
