Not All Relationships Should End in Marriage

Relationships Can Be Lasting or End in Heartbreak Depending Upon His Past

Many girls are anxious to tie the knot with someone they barely know. Guys who have been in jail in the past might keep it to themselves. Imagine getting into a relationship and then marriage without knowing about his shady past will be like? Get to know everything about him before you tie the knot!

Having a relationship with someone and then planning on marriage without knowing him too long can lead you into a disaster without realizing it. Keep your eyes open when you meet that guy you fall for. Ask questions and make him take you home to meet his family before planning a life together.

1. Make sure that you know all about his background. Learn more than his birthplace or age. Know about his past employment, the friends he runs around with and what his future goals are. This is important if you are thinking about entering into a relationship and a possible marriagel

2. Ask this guy you are thinking about entering into a lasting relationship with if he has a past history you should know about. Find out if he has children by a prior long term relationship and if he has to pay child support.

3. Meet his family. Do not stop at just his mother and father. Meet aunts and uncles and cousins as well. Invite him to a family gathering. See how he reacts among your family. Does he converse easily? Is he interesting or is he shy and has nothing to add to the conversation.

4. Find out about his finances and if he owes money to a bank, a family member or if he skipped out on paying for his car. A relationship should not start if there is a warrant out for his arrest, if his car is going to be repossessed or if he has to pay child support for one or more children by more than one woman.

Many times, when you meet a guy and the fire inside of you tells you that he is the one you have been waiting for, it is not always the truth. Get to know everything about him, speak to all who know or knew him and trust them if they advise you to stay away from him. If you enter into a relationship and a possible marriage without knowing everything about him, you are headed for deep trouble. Be wise and keep your eyes open before you lend him money, leap into a relationship or marriage with this guy.

Many times we lead with our heart rather than our mind. We think we know all we need know about the other to marry. Long relationships are best as it gives you a chance to delve deep into his past and discover a mess he might have made of his life

    That is so true. Thank God there is a dating process to determine if it is a relationship that you even want to continue with.

    This reminds me of what Katherine Hepburn once said, "We have the perfect relationship. At the end of the evening, he leaves and goes home." LOL cheers :)
