Things you should know before the engagement

Today I had a great blog post ready, but its going to have to wait. As I was doing some daily reading of blogs I came across an article posted yesterday on Glamour Weddings, 6 Things You Absolutely MUST Know About Each Other Before You Get Engaged. The article starts off with 6 major things you need to find out about your boyfriend before you get engaged. It is VERY important to know your partner in and out. I mean… come on…. you want to spend the rest of your life together right?.

Here are the 6 MUST know things according to Meredith Bodgas at Glamour Weddings:

1. Past Relationships. We’re not talking the short relationships, we’re talking the big ones. The ones that changed your life forever. Bodgas suggests that you also include in the details why you broke up, how long you were together and of course if you were married before.

2. Whether or Not You Want Kids. Its a deal breaker for a lot of couples. But, in my opinion you should know this very soon after your relationship gets serious.

3. The Possibility of Kids Already Running Around. Bodgas says that if your partner cut ties with women he had unprotected sex with, you need to know about it.

4. Your Takes on Religion. According to Bodgas you need to know how important religion could become, and what religion that may be, if you get to those points in your relationship.

5. What His Family Like. LOL, yeah this is important!

6. Past Run-Ins With the Law. You don’t want any major surprises in your marriage.

So, 26 comments later this article sparked a HUGE discussion on Glamour Weddings from financial status to sperm donation readers went back and forth on questions they think you should also know.

But what I want to know is What YOU think you should know before you get engaged and do you agree with this article? You can read the FULL article 6 Things You Absolutely MUST Know About Each Other Before You Get Engaged by going to Glamour Weddings.
