How Do I Get Marriage Assurance?

Do you really know your partner before you move in together? Being in the “Romantic Stage” of your relationship blurs your vision and often leads to serious troubles. How do you protect yourself?

The wedding or moving in together is the springboard to living life together. Before you say “I do” you should figure out how you will work together and what you will do when difficulties arise.

Here are some basic questions:
— How will you handle money issues (spending, savings, bill paying)?
— What will you do when you disagree on these?
— What would you do if you had a child with disabilities?
— What will you do if a parent wants to stay too close to one of you?
— What changes do you need to make immediately from the way each of you have been living?

Marriage Assurance is developed by answering as many of these types of questions as possible.
Too many couples say, “We’ll figure it out when the time come.” This usually doesn’t work.
For your “marriage assurance” each write 25 difficult questions. Combine them. Then discuss them. You will save yourself a lot of future grief.
