What could the result be?
- š Yes, you sound ready: You know each other well, you talk about the big things and you want the same future. Enjoy the planning, and keep talking as openly as you do now.
- š¤ Nearly: a few talks first: You have a lot going for you, but some important conversations are still waiting. Talk about the points below together. Pre-marriage counselling can help too.
- ā³ Not yet: give it time: There's no rush. Take more time to get to know each other and to talk through the big questions. A strong marriage is worth waiting for.
