What does it take to get — and stay — married? Marriage and social scientist Carol Bruess suggests happy couples ask each other these questions before popping the question to ensure a long-lasting, successful marriage. 💍 What are you unwilling to give up? Put all your non-negotiables on the table. 💍 Can you handle me doing things without you? Connection is important, but you need to balance it with autonomy. 💍 How did your family handle conflict? Your family's conflict style becomes your default response. Discuss this before you get in your first fight. 💍 What's the most you'd be willing to spend on something? Ask this about big and small purchases alike. Money is often more about emotions than numbers. 💍 Are you willing to make sacrifices and share tasks equally? Most heterosexual couples intend to share household chores, but gender roles sneak in. |
