if you think your male partner would be the "fun parent" when you have kids, don't marry him.

Look at your male partner. Is this someone you would trust to raise a daughter alone? If no, then you should leave him.

[princessterf]

Also ask:

Is this man someone who would leave me if I underwent mastectomy/major surgery/became disabled or terminally ill?

Is this man able to take criticism and not have a temper tantrum?

Is this man willing to do basic household chores?

Is this man responsible for himself?

Would this man become violent to me?

Would this man financially abuse me?

Does this man respect me and my body?

You are the slain victim of whomever you love,  So choose wisely who your lover is.

You build a friendship first. Then you marry your best friend.

[mysticalrose0]

Religious' aspect aside, the idea of waiting to be married before having intimate relations is rather healthy. I mean, it makes both partners build their relationship on friendship and non-physical intimacy instead of focusing on lust/passion.

Some of the recurring arguments when people divorce are like "we don't know each other any longer" "we have nothing to talk about" "the passion isn't here anymore" "the bed gets cold". Of course if you start a relationship based on your lust for your partner, the fire will lessen.

Favour the mind,not the body. Learn to trust your partner before deciding to offer them the most precious parts of yourself
