Whether singles are coming to my office before marriage or moving in, or marrieds have come through some rough times, they essentially want the same insights and information. I picked up these hints at a seminar several years ago, and thought they are definitely worth sharing with everyone in a relationship.
Seven Questions to Ask Before Marriage And After Weathering Marital Problems
WHAT IS OUR DEFINITION OF COMMITMENT? YOU WILL BE SURPRISED AT WHAT YOU LEARN.
ARE WE IN AGREEMENT ABOUT OUR FINANCES? NEXT TO SEX, MONEY IS THE BIGGEST CAUSE OF
PROBLEMS, ARGUMENTS, AND RESENTMENT IN RELATIONSHIPS.
ARE WE IN AGREEMENT ABOUT HOUSEHOLD RESPONSIBILITIES?
HOW CLOSE ARE WE TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS?
HOW DO WE HANDLE ANGER AND OTHER EMOTIONS?
HOW DO WE SHOW LOVE TO ONE ANOTHER? WHAT ACTIONS AND WORDS MEAN “LOVE?”
HOW WELL DID WE DISCUSS THESE QUESTIONS? HONEST AND OPEN DISCUSSION PROVIDES THE TOOLS
THAT LEAD TO SATISFACTORY PROBLEM SOLVING.
