Some Facts to know before marriage
-
A relationship goes through stages:
In the first stage of a relationship, it’s usually easy and exciting. It is easy to get along and you are head over heels for each other. In the second stage, it is inevitable for couples to go through a period of conflict and disagreement. The more prepared you are as a couple the easier it is to navigate this phase.
-
A successful relationship requires certain skills and knowledge:
You know that there is no magic formula for instant connection, relationships take work. A successful relationship is something that you do, not something that you have and most couples need to learn the tools to make it happen.

You have to be aligned around important life values:
Love is not always enough as much as we would like to think so. Each one of us has certain values and expectations from our relationship that are absolutely important to us. For a successful future, couples need to have the same core values and vision of the future.
