Are You Ready For Marriage?

March 13, 2006 | Author: Cindy | Filed under: Marriage

Are You Emotionally Ready for Marriage?
Ask yourself some serious questions and be honest. After all, marriage should be taken as a serious commitment. Are you ready to commit to this person for the rest of your life? If you have any doubts then you are NOT ready for marriage! Do you feel good about making such a commitment?

Do you understand that marriage is about sharing and compromise? If you are a person who is used to always getting his or her own way, then there may be certain adjustments you will need to make. Marriage involves giving up certain freedoms and privileges you have enjoyed while being single. You must consider the other persons’ wants, needs and desires. You can no longer act as a single person and go out drinking with the guys/gals every Friday night. Can you share living space with another person? Remember, half the closet, kitchen and the phone bill are now yours.

Are You Financially Ready for Marriage?
So you think you are financially responsible? You even have a little money saved for a rainy day? That is a great place to start. Yes, I said start! Being financially ready for marriage involves so much more than meets the eye. First, if you are young and haven’t finished college, I would suggest you wait to get married. Many couples have made the mistake in thinking that they can work, go to school, and still have time for a relationship. Unfortunately, this is seldom the truth. While marriage is a beautiful thing, it requires a lot of work. Burning the midnight oil can be stressful on a marriage. Why not get your education out of the way first?

Once you have secured a good position at a great company, you will want to make sure you start some kind of annuity or other savings plan. I don’t care if you are twenty or forty! It is never too early to plan for your future. Most fortune 500 companies offer 401k plans which is a great place to start saving for a secure future. If your company matches dollar for dollar, invest the max that they match.
Before you get married you should also do a run down on your debts. Do you have a house payment? What do you owe on your car? Do you pay child support? Have the two of you enough saved for your wedding? Do you have heavy credit card debt? Sit down with your fiancee and calculate just how much the two of you owe.

Last, but most important, after calculating your wedding expenses, how much do the two of you have in savings?

If after reading this, you feel that the two of you are ready for such a commitment, then congratulations! While I have shared with you that marriage isn’t always an easy thing, I think you will find that it can exceed your wildest dreams! If the two of you work together there isn’t anything that you can’t accomplish. Time to Start your Wedding Planning at Wedding-Smart.com!!

I would also like to add that when you do not currently have an insurance policy or else you do not belong to any group insurance, you could possibly well really benefit from seeking the help of a health broker. Self-employed or people having medical conditions ordinarily seek the help of the health insurance broker. Thanks for your text.

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks a lot!
