The first thing that came to mind when I saw the @chefqueen question was NO! NO! NO!
Should "love only" be enough to go into marriage, what do you think?
Love is never enough as a criterion to go into marriage with someone. So many things need to be put into consideration, such as the compatibility factor between the two parties.
Compatibility factors such as medical compatibility (genotype and blood group compatibility). AS and AS genotype individuals are not medically recommended to get married to each other due to the high risk of giving birth to Sickle cell children (SS)
There's also relationship compatibility which needs to be considered. Do we have shared values and goals? Do our lifestyles and long-term goals align??
Do we have effective communication and conflict resolution skills? Effective communication and resolution skills between both parties are highly essential for a healthy relationship.
Does this person have sense? Is he or she emotionally intelligent and mature? Maturity will help them to be able to navigate challenges and build a stronger bond.
Does my financial values, spending habit and goals align with this person?? Understanding of each other's financial habits and goals will help reduce stress and promote stability in the home.
Are we socially and culturally compatible?? Do you share the same cultural background or are you open to learn about each other's which would help enrich the relationship.
So many things needs to be considered before deciding to go into marriage with someone. Love is "NEVER ENOUGH!"
Thank you.
