10 questions to ask yourself before getting married.
The unique experience of marriage will either teach us or be a hindrance that we cannot overcome. Wherever one sits individually is where they will stand with their partner.
I am not against alcohol or anything else that anyone else chooses to do, as I deeply believe that we are each our own unique genome. Therefore, only we as individuals can know what we need to consume environmentally or internally. With that fairly acknowledged, it is most important to note that there is a price to be paid for any and every decision made. That price does not have to be negative. That price doesn’t necessarily have to be positive, either, as the price we pay in our lives for our decisions should never be categorized by good or bad but rather by our unique experiences of our individual lives.
When making the decision to move forward with someone in life, it is not a reflection of that other person but rather a reflection of how one feels about themselves internally. Marriage is the ideal business union to enter into in order to understand the unknowns that you are unable to discover within yourself by yourself.
- Do I have an addictive personality?
- Is there a possibility that I could become dependent on a substance like drugs or alcohol at some point in the marriage?*
