6 Things Live-in Couples Should Consider Before Getting Married
4. How the work will be divided
If your partner and you have decided to think over the issue of matrimony, then the next step should be to determine who will play the role of what in your relationship. Will things in the household go on as they are? Will you be expected to be a housewife or do most of the household duties? Will you both allow each other to be as free as you both are now?
5. Are you and your partner commitment phobic?
Do you really feel like settling with one person for the rest of your life? Does your partner also feel and is he ready for the same? Many live-in relations start casually and mostly marriage is not really on the couple’s mind. But if you find yourself to be more serious about him than you thought or more commitment phobic of relationships than you perceived, then firstly make your mind clear about it.
6. Views about children ought to be discussed
Most women would essentially like to have children at some point of their lives. They would not like to do so out of wedlock as marriage is seen as a stable institution. So you should make sure your man is equally enthusiastic to have children in the future, especially if you intend to get married mainly for this reason. If he is the kind of man who can’t envision himself as a father ever, you need to realize your priorities and deal with the situation accordingly.
