What do you think a man and a woman must know about each other before they get married?
 
That each of them is the gender they appear to be???

:biggrin2 Hey, it's the 21st century and modern medicine has made a mess of things!!!

:lol I hear you.That would be a big surprise wouldn't it?
 
Does the toilet paper go over or under the roll?
 
1) In a committed relationship with our Lord;
2) Financial health (bad debts, good credit, knows how to budget & plan);
3) Children - want them or no;
4) Pets - want them or no;
5) Rent or buy a house;
6) Carnivore or Herbivore (vegetarian);
7) Comfortable staying at home, relaxing ... or does the other want to party a lot;
8) Materialistic or no;

........just some thoughts that came to mind
 
Are they willing to love God more than each other.
Because God is the only adhesive that can hold a marriage together.

Good questions.
 
Who will be in charge of what household duties.And look out for any potential problems when you are dating.Because they are not going to change and you can't go into a relationship thinking that you can.If they will have separate checking accounts.Watch out for the guy who keeps his money all to himself.

this is probaly the best answer i have seen but just to add to this.

Household responsibilities as kathi mentioned.

another one i can think of is passion. reason why i mention this is, when people become to comfortable, that sparks starts to die out, leaving what interest you had with each other to slowly kindle. could bore the significant other and also lead to questions which could lead to problems down the line.

- What it is like to live with one another. Now, i know the lord says and the bible says not to live with one another until married. however i do find this to be a slight exception (i would never doubt the lord in anyway possible as he knows more then anyone could ever know. but it's also very different living separately and living together.

- Finances. half and half? deal worked out as bills to one and rent to another? etc..

-"Religion". are both committed to the same beliefs, and or, church on Sunday or.. you get where i'm going with this.

-Honesty. Honesty and communication are the two most important factors in any relationship.

I feel that every one does change in ways over time. What a man and a woman should determine is are they willing to continue to love one another even with undesired personality modifications and do they both understand that growing is inevitable.
(" for better or for worse / for richer or for poorer / till death do us part")

And the woman who keeps all his money all to herself too :D

Living together before marriage is a no no for a Christian couple.
 
And the woman who keeps all his money all to herself too :biggrin
Right,it can go both ways.And is he or she high maintenace?It is going to cost big bucks to keep that up.

Yes no matter what happens.Looks fade if either one is marrying to have a trophy on their arm and like the fact that she has a gorgeous figure what is going to happen when if loses that?Find someone else who has a gorgeous figure?
 
As a man I'm not worried to much about finances that is my responsibility, I would be more interested in will she support me and have faith in me. As a woman I feel I would consider weather or not he has adequate capacity to lead and the skills to maintain and support a family.
 
And does he have a roving eye?Watch out for that.That can be picked up while they are dating sometimes.
 
What was the biggest and first change you noticed when you became man and wife?
