7 Steps to follow while choosing a life partner

We need to take many decisions in our life. On average, a person spends more than half of his/her life with their life partner(s). And hence, the decision of choosing a life partner is a very significant life decision.

Are you searching for your life partner but don’t know how to start? How to proceed? And how to decide?

Here are some steps and tricks to choose a life partner that will surely help you:

1. Know Your Priorities: The first step of choosing your life partner is to be aware of your own priorities. Whether you want to be an entrepreneur, own a business, do a job, settle in your hometown or somewhere else? There are so many such questions many youngsters cannot answer early, and thus they aren’t aware of their priorities before marriage. They make decisions with that half-awareness about their priorities, and face relationship problems later when their and their life partner’s priorities don’t match.

2. Know Your expectations from your life partner: Now that you know your priorities, the second step is to know what type of life partner you need. That is, what are your expectations from your life partner. Do you want your life partner to help you in your business, or take care of your family members, or do his/her job to help you financially, or relocate with you according to your work locations? The situations are endless.

3. Know Your family members’ expectations from your life partner: It’s great that you know your priorities and expectations from your life partner. Now, it is equally important to know your family members’ expectations from your life partner. You can ask your parents what they are looking for in their future son-in-law or daughter-in-law. There are many couple dispute cases in which couples are happy with each other, but their parents or family members are not, which is hampering their relationship.

4. Communicate your priorities and expectations clearly to your prospect before your marriage: While you are in a marital meeting with your prospect, or on a date with your girlfriend or boyfriend, whom you want to marry, you should Communicate your priorities, your and your family member’s expectations with them.

5. Ask your prospect about his/her priorities and expectations: A marriage is a two-way commitment. It’s not always your life partner who will take care of your priorities and expectations. Your prospect can also have his/her priorities. They might also be looking for someone to be their life partner who can fulfil their expectations. Ask appropriate questions to your prospects to know their priorities and expectations.

6. Assess all the Inputs and be sure that you both are compatible with each other: Now, as you both have exchanged each other’s thoughts, it’s time to assess how you both can be compatible with each other based on your priorities and check how you both can fulfill each other’s expectations, and analyze how you both can grow together as life partners.

7. Once you are sure, then Marry, else find someone else: Once you are sure that you both can be compatible with each other, you can go ahead and say yes to marry your prospect. If you don’t find yourself comfortable or compatible with your prospect, you can step back and talk to another prospect.
