So You’re Getting Married…Past Relationship Baggage?

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before (Philippians 3:13).

Everyone has relationship baggage, platonically or romantically. Unfortunately, we take our baggage with us into the next relationship. If left unchecked at the door, some baggage can derail our potential relationships. But it’s left up to you to determine which baggage is more overbearing than others. Following are some questions you will want to ask during the engagement process to determine which cargo is too much to forebear to even consider getting married:

·        What type of person are you attracted to?

·        What do you think it takes to make a relationship work?

·        What are you views on relationship counseling?

·        What are your relationship deal breakers?

·        What’s the longest relationship you have been committed to?

·        What caused the break-up?

·        Do you still communicate or have an ongoing relationship with your ex?

·        What has your dating experience taught you about the importance of commitment and marriage?

·        Have you ever felt insecure in a relationship? If so, why?

·        Have you ever been in love?

·        When was the first time you fell in love?

·        Were you ever engaged to be married? If so, why did the engagement fall through?

Remember ladies; these are questions that you’ll want to ponder for yourself, as well, before making a long term commitment. If most of your responses to these questions have been met with negative answers, then you have some baggage that needs to be checked at the door. You do not want to go into one door, when you have left the other open and unlocked.

XOXO,


Jay
