What Do You Think People Need To Know About Each Other Before They Get Married? by Mikester: 3:59pm On Jan 17, 2021
Marriage is a beautiful thing but can be the worst thing to happen to a man if a partner isn't considered carefully. Some of us are fortunate to marry good partners while others are just unfortunate. Some yet dated their husbands/wives then ended up marring their boyfriends/girlfriends. Funny and sad as it is.

Best to marry someone who would bring out the best in us not the stress in us which brings up the big question, "What do you think people need to know about each other before they get married?"

From my perspective so far I believe they include

- His/her financial status
- His/her private life
- Genotype
- Mental health

Is there something I'm missing?
What's your take on this?

Yes, especially the sex part, communication and financial aspect

In marriage is forever ..so one must choose what matches you ..first they must be up and down ,forget those Korean movies they are tough times where you and her might get misunderstandings, so here you check if he/she can forgive easily .. Next everyone has a bad habit, so I always advice you life with her for like a month or two to see if you can tolerate her ..and lastly fertility, can she put to bed?

You seem to be ignoring the fact that most men lose interest in a lady after sex...

Yes exactly, and also, is the man fertile enough to impregnate a woman? It goes both ways.

Marriage is more spiritual than physical. But have one eye open while praying for life partner.

Is she submissive? is she domestic enough? Does she have a listening ear? is she one of those toxic and proud feminists screaming "men are scum"? These are things i look out for.

Feminism is a total turnoff for me too. It is an anti-marriage program. Nice input

Having sex with a man will definitely loose your respect as a woman. But you need to discuss it further. Some men has thin or small tin, some have issues with their sex life, some ladies don't like too much sex, it will be very painful if the guy or the lady didn't tell his or problem before going into marriage

Family medical history: Hereditary sicknesses .

Family spiritual history : I don't/didn't want my kids growing up to fight Generational and ancestral battles.Doubt it all you want but they exist.

How they treat their in laws : I always wanted open minded in laws but they should know their boundaries.

Temperament :How he react when he's angry ,sad etc . again some can pretend or change overtime.

Cheating capability:some disguise real good lipsrsealed

Sexual energy :guess this one doesn't matter anymore grin ,the thing sef don tire me grin.

Financial stability/plans/investments/ genotype/social lifestyle/any bad addiction/fetish etc should be investigated too.

As earlier highlighted, mental health should not be ignored. Mental health disorders such as bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder (MDD), Schizophrenia etc are hereditary as mental illness can run in families.

Some people are more predisposed to them because of the families they are biologically linked to, so it is very important to read up on them and their management as this would help make informed decisions.

Investigate his family background so as to find out if his lineage has generational curse,traits and perhaps evil associated to them. Although it may seem like a joke but it's so real.

Discuss with him everything that has to do with money in Marriage,this would help u to know who would be in charge of money especially as regards to planning,investing and management.

Discuss with him what he likes and dislike. How many children he would like to have if the marriage is consummated. I remembered my wife asking me similar question like 5years ago and which I mentioned 4 but we ended at 3,which in reality,came out as planned.

Talk about ur finances alot,in fact make it a real talk. Ask him his goals where and what he intends to achieve tomorrow or perhaps in 5 years time,with this be assured to get an answer from him.

This is just little out of many u would like to ask him or her. And the real reason why money matter is key to marriage is because,it has greatly torn family apart and if u dont take out ur time to discuss more about it now at this relationship level,u may end up regretting it.

In conclusion, if u must marry, be u a man or woman,pls do ensure that u educate yourself about financial education...it'll benefit u,improve u and enhance u on how to handle the most critical financial decisions in ur home/marriage. Good luck to u.

You spoke wisdom. On a normal basis relationships should be based on communication not assumptions. No partner should live with assumptions, they should rather communicate which is more rational

- His/her financial status
- His/her private life
- Genotype
- Mental health

Moreover how do we know the wrong person to avoid? What are the signs to look out for?
What's your take on this?


See that mental health....It's very very very important! Many are mad few are roaming.
