It may be just a few months or days before you stand before the holy fire and make those promises to spend the rest of your lives together in harmonious matrimonial. This can be an extremely overwhelming time of your life, and sticking together and communicating all the factors the make you excited and apprehensive is the best way to deal with it. Here are some topics that you must discuss with your partner before you get married:
- Faith: this is probably one of the most significant aspects of life that need to be developed between two partners. It is faith that makes or breaks a relationship. Communicate the importance of this emotion to your better half and make sure that your partner understands what role it plays in your relationship. Faith is not only about being faithful to each other, but also about you can have faith in each other to be there in times of need and trouble.
- Expectations and Roles: It is important for partners to understand beforehand what role they are expected to play in each other’s lives. The best thing to do is to communicate to your partner what is expected of them in terms of conduct and even in terms of their role in the family. This is especially important with respect to the woman who may want to go out and work, or be a homemaker. Clarity in this aspect is extremely important.
- Money: Handling money matters in a matrimonial relationship can get a little tricky if you haven’t already figured it out. You need to check whether your better half is a saver or a spender. You must do everything in your hands to clarify the spending and saving situation between the two of you and make sure that finance is never a sour point in your relationship. Working on a budget together and designing investment and saving plans can actually be fun.
- Friends and Relatives: believe it or not, this can be an extremely big deal in any matrimonial relationship. Drawing a balance between how you treat each other’s parents, to what extent do you wish to involve them, your relatives and friends in your day to day lives in a call that must be taken jointly. Any difference of opinion in such matters can not only cause a rift between the two of you, but also between you and your loved ones.
If you want, you can live a harmonious and understanding life or you can make your marriage a living hell just because you won’t compromise. It is up to you t choose a path that is full of love, laughter and life!
Summary
In addition to the companionship that you receive with a marriage, you receive a life partner who does not necessarily share the same ideas and attitudes as you. Communication is the key to a successful marriage.
