The 3 Most Important Things To Know Before You Ever Consider Getting Married
By Benjamin Sledge

1. Marriage is a Covenant

Thus, a covenant is not a legal contract that lays out terms, but a mutual understanding that regardless of performance, you’re still all in. It’s a love that understands that the essence of marriage is a sacrificial commitment to the good of the other. It unites not just duty and passion, but emotions and promise.

2. Marriage Will Intensify Your Problems, Not Fix Them

Marriage puts all your problems under a microscope and intensifies them.

3. Get Your Crap Together Before You Get Married, Because Your Past Will Come Back To Haunt You

Spend the time now becoming the type of person you’d want to date or marry.

Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup  I Corinthians 11:28

Important Premarital Questions

Will you have separate bank accounts, joint checking accounts, or both?

Who will pay the bills?

How will you handle disagreements about how money should be spent?

Do you plan and agree to have full financial disclosure with your spouse?
