Trouble is, until you actually have a relationship threatening row, you are not going to know how you would react.

Untill you are in a position to be in control of money, you won’t know if you can handle it well.

While it is good to have some preparation, and idea of your partners abilities, finding these things out together is part of life’s journey, and not something you can arrange beforehand.

These questions are so important, these days a lot of churches require marriage prep sessions to encourage the couple to address these issues. I think it is a very good idea.

Taggart I agree with you 100%, people hit problems because they have never looked beyond the wedding day, they don’t see the reality, they see it all as a fairytale.

I also think that a lot of women in particular grow up dreaming of their wedding day and how they want it to be celebrated and presented.

I think in many cases the wedding day is seen as a finish line rather than a starting point of a marriage.

You have to know a great deal about the person that you plan to spend the rest of your life with.

Many people get caught up in the emotions of falling in love and just figure that everything else will fall into place later.

This is not the case. You have to ask the important questions before you get married.

I agree, I’m afraid many couples failed to communicate at an early stage of their relationship.

I think another challenge can be when couples form a relationship early in their life or emotional development and then sometimes grow and change in directions that aren’t compatible with each other’s.

I agree with you justontime, and that brings us back to the importance of good communication and willingness to deal with the challenging times together.

Katherina you are right, point 5 is important and it is not just yelling and physical expressions of anger that are hard to deal with. Sulking, silences and refusal to communicate can be exhausting and can threaten a marriage.
