Top 10 of the most important questions to ask yourself before marriage:

Why do I want to get married?
(Love, companionship, security, pressure, timing — knowing your real reason matters.)

Am I truly ready to commit to one person for life?
(Commitment means loyalty through both good and hard times.)

Do I know myself well enough to share my life with someone else?
(Self-awareness helps prevent projecting unmet needs onto a partner.)

Am I emotionally mature enough to handle conflict without running away or shutting down?
(Marriage requires healthy conflict resolution.)

Can I accept my partner exactly as they are — flaws included — without expecting to change them?
(Unrealistic expectations often lead to disappointment.)

Do we share the same core values about family, money, faith, children, and lifestyle?
(Differences in values can become big challenges later.)

Am I financially responsible, and can I handle joint money decisions?
(Money disagreements are one of the top causes of marital stress.)

Do I know how to communicate my needs clearly, and listen to theirs without judgment?
(Communication is the foundation of a lasting marriage.)

Am I willing to keep growing as a person and as a partner?
(Successful marriages require both people to evolve together.)

If this person never changed, would I still choose to spend my life with them?
(Helps separate love from wishful thinking.)
