Items for Consideration in choosing a Marriage Partner:

*Can you let go of the need to "be right"?
* Are you open for constructive feedback?
*Do you accept your mistakes and learn from them?
•Are you willing to take risks and be vulnerable?
* Have you both learned to exchange suggestions for improvement in your relation without giving or taking offense?
*How do you know make decisions that affect both of you? After marriage, who will be "boss"? Will the husband be "head of the house", If so, Will he be able to counsel and plan with his wife? To respect her Opinions? To Consider her needs?
