Small checklist for the big step
Marrying is very trendy! More and more people dare to say "yes". In times of divorce rates, there is a strong desire to bond. The wedding becomes a sign of fortune, one celebrates that one has found one another. The question that remains: Are you ready for marriage?
The more of the following statements apply to you, the sooner you are ready to take the big step and get ready for marriage ...
1. You are over 27 and feel the same.
2. You have known your partner for over two years, live together and have already survived more than a serious argument and a rainy holiday.
3. They do not believe that marriage can solve problems.
4. You also do not believe that the partner belongs to you, once he is your husband and he will never leave you again.
5. They have common ideas about what your wedding should look like and are able to defend them against mothers, aunts and mothers-in-law.
6. You have no tax reasons.
7. You sincerely and undoubtedly believe you have found the man with whom you want to grow old.
8. They love this man even when he is stressed, rotten and hungover.
9. They have roughly the same ideas on the following topics: living, holidays, money, sex, loyalty, the desire to have children.
10. Her main reason for the marriage is not the Sissi dream dress you saw in the shop window the other day.
11. You are not acting in the hope that he will not be a stranger if he has a ring on his finger.
12. And not in the fact that he finally does what you want.
13. They know that at least one relative will be wrong at the wedding - and you will not burst into tears.
14th They act of their own free will and on their own initiative and neither, because your mother has been so long, nor because all the girlfriends are marrying now, nor because you are now 37 and now it must finally happen.
15. You can live with the idea that the wedding night and the best sex of your life will not necessarily have the same date.
16. They have stable friendships that will withstand that for months, they will all be gossiping about topics such as table decoration and body powder.
