Therefore
shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife:
and they shall be one flesh (Genesis 2:24).
Family relationships are an
intricate part of marriage. A person’s relationship with their family is a tell-tale
sign of the legacy they will create within their marriage. So a conversation
about your views on Family Matters should not be off the table when discussing
marriage. Here are a few questions that you should ask before you consider
heading down the altar:
·
Do you want children, if so, how many?
·
Do you have children, if so, how many?
·
Is infertility a deal breaker?
·
Are you from a big family?
·
Are your parents still married and how long have they been married?
·
Are there many divorces in your family?
·
When you were growing up, did your family eat dinner together?
·
Does your family celebrate holidays together?
·
Are you close to your family?
·
How often do you visit your family members?
·
Do you believe in loaning family members money?
·
Would you allow a family member to come live with you?
·
How does your family handle disagreements?
·
Has your family or a significant other's family ever been a factor
in a break-up?
Remember ladies; before you
say I do, pay close attention to the interaction between your man and his
relatives. Your man’s relationship with his family members is an indicator of
the type of father he’ll be to your children, in case you both decide to have
them.
XOXO,
Jay
