Lastly, what you should be sure to talk about – if we are aware of the responsibilities of each other in marriage and whether we believe that our family ties will survive any challenge? Can I endure a disease of the partner, devastation, his/her crime, betrayal, shift in thinking, change of religion, old age, death and so on? Am I ready to everything and anything can happen to any person in this world? And we are the normal, usual people. So don’t expect our life will be a special one (that we will not get old, we won’t get sick and will never commit a stupidity).
Remember: If I’m ready for everything, then I’m ready for marriage and family life.
