Marriages are made in heaven, they say, but they’re also the biggest commitment and one of the most important decisions you ever make.

Marriage ushers one into a different level of life and it’s very important to make it a wise decision.

As desirable and exciting as it might be for you and your partner, there are important things to consider that will ensure your happily ever after!

Generally, regardless of how blissful the relationship feels, no one should feel overly-excited or unduly pressured into making or accepting a marriage proposal until the following four issues are discussed:

Compatibility

First and foremost, how compatible are you and your partner? Do you like spending time together, or does time seem to crawl by?

How outgoing are you? How about him? Does your idea of fun align? Would one be willing to bend or shift to accommodate the other?

As one grows older, passion and looks fades but can you imagine sitting together on a porch in your old age and having a conversation? If so, you’ve found your match.

Finances

Love can’t thrive on fresh air alone. It is important for both partners to be transparent about their financial situations.

One must know how much the partner earns and whether it is enough to sustain a family, if there is any large loan outstanding.

This may seem a bit harsh, but at the end of the day if this is not sorted out, it can be the biggest cause of friction.

Discuss money and settle issues surrounding this, so it doesn’t disturb your relationship.

Respect

Respect is a key factor in every relationship. Does your partner respect you, your wishes and your decisions?

Sometimes you make relationship decisions based on love and allow the other person to disrespect and take you for granted, in the hope that your sacrifice will be compensated with love.

Stereotypes Of Both A Husband’s And Wife’s Role In The Marriage

In today’s day and age, it is important to understand how both partners feel about each other’s role in the household.

Find out if it will be frowned upon if the wife pursues her career? Or is she expected to work and will it be held against her if she directs her energies towards raising a family? Is the husband expected to help out with the household chores?

Have these talks. Find a common ground. Don’t leave things to chances, it can break up your home.

Cheick Tiote, 28, who earns £45,000 a week playing for Newcastle United, reportedly wed Laeticia Doukrou in a traditional ceremony earlier this month, saying taking another wife was ‘nothing unusual’ given he is a Muslim.

Where is Omar Borkan Al-Gala? | The man who was “deported from Saudi for being too handsome”

Image
By Roqeebah Olaoniye You may remember his face from April 2013 when almost every news outlet reported that the Saudi Arabian Police deported three men from the Kingdom for being too handsome. “Earlier this week, three men were forcibly removed from a culture festival in Saudi Arabia after religious police deemed the men “too handsome”. – UK’s Independent reported on the 26th of April 2013 . The Independent’s report relied on an “Arabic language newspaper Elaph”, which reported that a “festival official said the three Emiratis were taken out on the grounds they are too handsome and that the Commission [for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vices] members that concerns that female visitors could fall for them.” One of these three illegally handsome men turned out to be Omar Borkan Al-Gala: Ridiculously handsome right? Within a few hours, the internet was ablaze with photos of identifying Omar as one of the deported handsome men. Omar did nothing to quell the rumours. In ...
