So You’re Getting Married…Everyday Living

For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Luke 14:28

People have divorced a year or two into marriage because their significant other snores or they have learned that they can’t stand the way they chew their food. Yes, these may be minute issues, but these small issues can turn into bigger problems later on down the line. You may think to yourself, the way someone snores or chews their food is so shallow and this should not keep someone from desiring to remain in a relationship. Because we are human, imperfect people, with flaws, we all have intricacies, things that make us tick and things that annoy us. For example, I cannot stand to see hair left behind in the shower or perhaps you’re a person that likes your linen and bedding folded a certain way. Certain annoyances are part of our personality. Some things we’re willing to bend or compromise on and there are things that we won’t even attempt to be agreeable on. However, we go into the relationship, thinking, at the time, that I love this person so much that such irritations can be worked out. When the novelty or newness of the relationship wears off, we start to pay more attention to those nuisances, so following, are some questions that pertain to everyday living that you will want to ask before you decide to run off into wedded bliss:

1. Would you consider yourself a morning or a night person?
2.  Are you comfortable with public display of affection?
3. When you disagree with your partner, do you tend to argue or withdraw?
4. What is your view on sharing household responsibilities, such as, cooking   and cleaning?  
5. How do you go about planning your weekly schedule or day of events?

These are just some basic everyday living questions to initiate the conversation.

Remember ladies, you cannot change a man, regardless of how much you love him.  You or either going to accept him and all  of his annoyances or perhaps, he just may not be the man for you.

XOXO,


Jay
