Cupid’s Advice:

 

Marriage is a big step, and you both need to be serious about it. Cupid knows what’s coming, so here’s what to prepare yourself for before you tie the knot:

1. Less effort: Some look at marriage as the grand prize.  If this is you, you may feel you worked hard enough to get here, so now it’s time to relax.  Not putting in as much time and effort to keep the relationship strong can lessen the meaning and power it once had.

2. Interest level: Forever is a long time.  It’s also enough time for one to get bored of the same old thing. Sometimes you’re going to need to give your partner more space or spend extra time together to keep the relationship fresh.

3. Sharing and the future. There are so many important factors couples must consider before tying the knot.  Prenups, living situations, and of course, children, are primary.  Remember that, from now on, this person is a part of you.  Make decisions together.
