Are you ready for marriage? 👰

Wedding season is almost here…and some couples may be getting “cold feet”.

Don’t worry…that’s normal.

However the Huffington Post shares some signs that you may not be ready for a walk down the aisle:

You’re still keeping big secrets from each other For example, if you’re hanging out with certain friends or haven’t talked about your debt it may be aa sign you’re not really communicating on a high enough level yet.

You keep having the same argument over and over  If so, it won’t go away just because you’re married..but it also doesn’t mean you should break up, either.  You’ll have to address the issue sooner or later…so do it now.

You love who they could be, not who they are right now. Chances of a potential spouse changing in a big way are slim so what you see is probably what you’ll get.

You haven’t been with them very long  Experts say two years is a good benchmark. You’re mostly just infatuated with each other the first year…you’ll “let it all hang out” in the second one and have a better idea if you can live with them or not.

You think divorce is no big deal  If you say your vows thinking it’s an escape hatch, you’re not truly committed to one another and might not try as hard to work things out when you hit a rough patch (which you will).

Pass the test? Congratulations…where are you registered? 🎁
