Marriage is a bond between two people cementing their love, friendship and partnership. In order to know which questions you should ask before marrying your future wife you should first ask yourself what type of life you want to lead, do you want children, will you be faithful, what are your financial expectations from the marriage and will this person bring you happiness in fulfilling these ideals. When you have found out what you want then ask the bride the following questions:

1) Do you want children? If this is not agreed from the start, you are in trouble! Do not tell her if you want children, before finding out if she wants them. She could very well say that she does not want children, so that you will marry her. Later, she may realize that she does want children and you will end up with a family life that you did not ask for, or agree upon! Think about it.

2) Where do you see yourself in 10 years time? You will find out a lot about your future bride from this open ended question. She may say that she aims to be a company director, house wife or be living in Australia. Do you want to marry a 'company director'? Someone who is working every hour God sends, with little time for you? On the other hand, if she eludes to being a house wife, this also presupposes children! Perhaps, you have the perfect bride because you also want to move to Australia, or there is another country which you reach a consensus on.

3) Do you like me? Everybody wants to hear someone tell them that they love them. Think about it, do you want to be with someone who loves you, but does not like you? You really have to like each other to have a strong and lasting partnership. If the passion dies (which it may) you will still have a really good friendship and this is so important.

4) Do you want an open or closed relationship? I know, not very romantic! However, this needs to be spelt out. Your other half, may decide that she wants to have you her husband and a few other extra marital interests. How would you feel about this? You may love it!

Finally, make sure that you ask the more pragmatic questions before marrying your wife, because hopefully you will be together for a long time.
