Indeed, marriage is a beautiful thing, regardless of how badly the institution has been represented in recent times with high rates of divorce, domestic violence, abuse and others in today’s world.
Despite the numerous failed marriages you can count if asked to, it won’t take away the fact that there are also a good number of healthy marriages out there.
But the truth is that a good marriage entails a lot of work. It doesn’t just come on a golden platter.
Many bad marriages today could have been avoided if only people had taken the time to do the needful before getting into them.
Although there is no special recipe for the perfect marriage, there are always signs to look out for in a partner before agreeing to settle down with them in marriage.

Do Not Choose You
There is nothing as painful as a one-sided relationship.
If you are the only one who keeps making the phone calls, spending, visiting and making sacrifices all the time without any reciprocation from the other party, it is not healthy.
You might need to take a deep breath and rethink your decision.
Do Not Define Your Relationship
It is very important to ask questions before entering a relationship and to define what you both want.
Are we dating for fun? Are we dating to get married? What do we want to get out of this relationship?
Answers to these questions will help guide you both on your journey and save you time and heartbreak.
You might want to watch out for their actions too; talk, they say, is cheap.
Keep Hiding You From The World
Unless you are a celebrity or you and your partner agreed to be extremely discreet about your relationship.
It is a sign of danger when your partner never talks about you to their family or friends, never allows you to visit, wouldn’t take you out in public places, or celebrate you openly.
Your partner should be proud of you anywhere, anytime. Don’t be the world’s best-kept secret.
