The DJ was sharing with his co-host a story of his friends, married couple, early 20's, married for 4 years.
Apparently, the friend was sharing with the DJ some complaints about his wife. The biggest one being, she doesn't believe in flushing the toilet after you pee. She believes you should conserve water. Another was that his wife doesn't want to purchase a house because she likes changing her address every 2 years or so. From what I understand of the story, his wife was a Military Kid and always moved - as an adult, she would like to continue that.
Needless to say, the DJ shared about 10 complaints from his Buddy about his wife. The DJ was shocked that none of these topics were covered before The Big I DO!
This gave me the idea to share a good 20 or more questions that I think would be beneficial to ask your future spouse.
Now I've only been married about 5 years, so I'm definitely NO expert on marriage, however, I do recognize Marriage to be a covenant between a man, his wife, and God. Jesus Christ has always been the foundation of our marriage and with that, I'm confident in saying that I will fulfill my vows to my hubby - Til death do us part...
Here are a few I came up with:
1.) Do you believe marriage is a promise between you, your spouse, and God?
