In Order Not To Regret, Make Sure Your Partner Answer These 3 Questions Before Marriage

JAKARTA - Marriage is a long journey full of challenges, happiness, and tests. In order for the relationship to run harmoniously and last forever, it is important to prepare yourself before stepping to the level of marriage.

One way to prepare yourself is to ensure that you and your partner have agreed on some basic things that can affect the quality of marriage.

The famous divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has represented big clients such as Kim Kardashian, Britney Spears, to Ariana Grande, revealed that the main reason divorced people are lack of communication. For him, communication is very important in marriage.

"Throughout the marriage, you have to talk about everything. If you just cover it up, the problem will only get bigger," said Parima Pandkhou, divorce lawyer and Wasser co-worker at Wasser, Cooperman & Mandles, as reported by CNBC Make It page!

Therefore, it is important to build open communication habits before marriage. To start, Pandkhou and the divorce lawyer and the Padideh Jafari family law suggested that the couple discuss these three questions before getting married.

1. How much is your Credit Score?

Finance is often the main cause of divorce, so it is important to discuss financial matters before stepping into a marriage. Padideh Jafari, a divorce lawyer, said that discussing this was a very important start.

"Financiality is still one of the main reasons for divorced people," he said.

Ask your partner about credit scores, have they ever filed for bankruptcy, or have credit card debts. In addition, discuss other debts such as marriage money loans or home credit plans.

All aspects of finance, both personal and collective, will have a major effect on marriage, so it is important to understand each other from the start.

"While this may feel uncomfortable, after you talk about it, a lot of fear and insecurity will be lost," explained Parima Pandkhou, another divorce lawyer.

2. Is Religion Important To You?

For some people, religion is an inseparable part of their lives. If you and your partner have different beliefs, or if one of you feels religion is very important, this discussion should be done before marriage.

"I think it's important to ask about religion. What if your partner doesn't believe inquation, or has a very different view in terms of religion? That could be a problem at a later date," said Jafari, a divorce lawyer.

Talk about it from the start, whether religion has a big role in your life and how you want to raise children later. These things can be a point of big difference that has the potential to cause conflict if not mutually agreed upon.

3. Should We Sign The Pre-Marriage Agreement?

Although it is often considered taboo, constitutional agreements are one way to protect yourself and your partner from financial problems or division of property in the event of divorce.

"Perjanjian pemerat memungkinkan pasangan untuk melakukan pengungkapan keuangan secara menyeluruh dan membantu menghindari masalah di masa depan," kata Pandkhou.

Ask your partner if they agree to sign a lama agreement. If only to regulate the assets brought into marriage, this can provide a sense of security for both parties.

While this can be a difficult discussion, discussingmal agreements can reduce pressure if you and your partner decide to separate in the future. A small step that can be very useful in the future.
