Love Does Not Make Marriage Work #18

Would you bet your happiness on a checklist? We're tackling the intriguing concept of marriage checklists, and how they may influence relationship dynamics. Some view these lists as essential paths to establishing compatibility, while others see them as barriers to relationship growth. We're diving into the contentious debate, drawing inspiration from the public spat between Tyrese and DJ Envy. It's an opportunity to reflect on the boundaries of what should remain private and what can be shared publicly in a relationship.

Ever heard the saying "Marriage is a business?" We're testing this theory by focusing on the hard-to-discuss topics that can make or break a relationship. Childhood traumas, financial health, parenting styles, religious beliefs – all these can significantly affect compatibility. Yet, these are often swept under the rug during courtship. We're challenging this trend, highlighting the importance of early discussions and the danger of unrealistic expectations.

Finally, we're exploring the concept of dating with intention. This isn't just about finding someone who ticks all the boxes on your checklist, but building a relationship with a shared vision for the future. We're talking about the five F's – Faith, Family, Fitness, Finances, and Freedom. These are the pillars that we believe create a solid foundation for a successful relationship. Join us as we unpack the power of intention in dating and the crucial role of communication in maintaining a healthy partnership.
