15 Relationship Questions You Must Ask Your Partner Before Marriage

Marriage. It's a simple term.

This term, however, creates a serious legal and emotional bond between both parties. Being married means sharing your life with the other person and accepting to be fully committed to one another, "in sickness or in health, for richer or poorer."  Do you believe that you are ready to be fully committed to one person for the rest of your life? Marriage is most definitely going to cause ups and downs in your life but for so many of us, it's worth it!

Here are the top 15 questions you MUST ask your partner before marriage:

1. FINANCE:

Are you financially stable? Will we be able to make a living together?

2. EDUCATION:

How much education have you had in the past and do you want to have more education in the future?

3. CAREER:

How ambitious are you in your career field? How do you see yourself professionally, 5-10 years from now?

4. CHILDREN:

How many children do you want or do you want none?

5. RELIGION/VALUE:

What is your religion? What do you value?

6. GENDER ROLE:

What do you think about chores and home responsibilities?

7. ADDICTIONS:

Do you have any addictions like gambling, alcohol, gaming, working, drugs, etc?

8. SEXUAL DRIVE:

How is your sexual drive? Do you have any expectations?

9. PRIORITIES:

How will you prioritize your life? (i.e. working, spouse, child(s))

10. HEALTH:

How is your health? Any medical conditions?

11. TRANSPORTATION:

How will you use transportation? (i.e. car, bicycle, subway, bus)

12. FAMILY:

Extended Families - How will we spend holidays, birthdays, other events? (Who, what, where, when)

13. HOBBIES:

Do you have any particular hobbies or activities that you take part in?

14. OTHER TOPICS:

Do you want any pets? What is your point of view on the topic politics? (Any other questions that you would like to ask your partner)

15. CULTURE:

How will we deal with our cultural differences? (option)The base of every relationship must be set up well to create a long-lasting, non-destructive relationship.

The questions listed below may show you how well your groundwork between the two is set up.
  • Do you trust your mate to be loyal to you and in general? (Trust is the foundation of every relationship)
  • Do you love him/her?
  • Are you understanding of your partner and can you tolerate your partner's negative traits?
  • Are you two compatible? (i.e. sports, music, movies) Compatibility can go a long way.
