When you and your partner decide to get married, of course there will be a lot of preparation that you will do with your partner. Whether it's preparation for events, wedding dresses, and so on.
But behind that, there are far more important preparations that you must do. What are they? Here's the review below!
1. Mental Readiness
Mental readiness is very important to be prepared before marriage. As is well known, married life does not always run smoothly and beautifully. There will be various challenges and problems that always arise. Therefore, it takes a strong mental preparation to deal with it.
Talking about mental readiness, you may feel like you can't be fully prepared. However, learn to keep training yourself from now on. As in managing emotions, always think positively, be ready to take responsibility, and so on.
2. Physical readiness
Apart from being mentally prepared, you also have to be physically prepared. Just as it takes physical readiness to do household chores to perform sexual activities with a legal partner.
Therefore, it is also very important for you to check your body's health condition. If it turns out that you have a history of certain diseases, of course you can get treatment first before getting married.
3. Financial Readiness
Yup! Financial readiness is also one of the things that need to be prepared before marriage. Not only the costs for taking care of the wedding, but also the costs after marriage. Such as costs for household needs, costs for pregnancy, children's education costs, and so on.
Therefore, make sure your partner or both of you are financially independent before entering into marriage. Because financial problems are often a problem in the household, then discuss it before marriage.
4. About Having Children Or Not
Before getting married, you and your partner need to discuss whether or not you want to have children. If you want to have children, plan a pregnancy program by living a healthy lifestyle, talk about the number of children you want, how to raise children, then what if you don't have children, and so on.
Because this is very important for the future, so don't take it lightly by choosing to ignore it for now.
5. About Residence
Next, one of the preparations before marriage that you should do is talk about where you will live after marriage. Whether it's staying at your house, staying at your in-laws' house, buying a house, or choosing to rent.
Therefore, to avoid problems in the future, you and your partner should be able to talk about it before getting married!
It turns out that it's not a matter of dowry, but the row of things above that you need to prepare! How, what have you prepared so far?
