A few days ago, I ran across an article from the NYT that presented 15 questions couples should ask themselves before they get married. The number’s not important, but the questions are. Thankfully Ligia and I discussed most of these questions, and others, before we tied the knot, but I hear many couples forgo this step, then wonder who they’ve married after it’s too late. Have a look at question 9. I would rank that higher. It’s really important that both husband and wife have the same religious beliefs. So many people have problems with this. Either their marriage or their religious beliefs fall apart because of opposing views or simply indifference to what each other believe. However high you rank point number 9 in your relationship, I think it’s really important that you have a look at this list if marriage is next on your “to do” list.
