7 Questions to ask before you say, “I do.”

5. Do I laugh a lot around this person?

A healthy relationship should have a lot more comedy than “drama”! Laughter is an important gauge which can measure the health of a relationship. If you don’t laugh much around each other, ask yourself the reasons why.

6. Are we both headed in the same direction?

It’s okay to have some different interests, but ultimately, it’s vital that a couple be unified in their hopes, dreams and overall direction for their lives and future. Otherwise, you’re setting yourselves up for some HUGE frustrations later in life.

7. Can I stay committed to this person no matter what?

When you look this person in the eye and before God and witnesses, say, “Til death do us part,” you’re going to have to mean it! If you’re entering into the marriage with any form of an exit strategy, you’re better off not getting married.

If you have negative responses to ANY of these questions, I encourage you to take a step back and reevaluate your relationship. The decision to marry someone is far too important a choice to make lightly!
