Before marrying someone, there are some topics you might want to discuss.

Some important questions to ask your partner are in regards to how much debt they have and whether or not they want to have children.

It can also be wise to ask about your partner's previous encounters with the law and their sex drive.

5. What about just dating someone?

While discussing the wearing of masks during Covid I told a friend this week that if I were looking to date someone and saw she/he was NOT wearing a mask in public she/he would automatically be off any dating list of mine.

In the past I have refused to date people who do not vote. I have certain standards. If you are not a voting Dem than you are not worth my time.

6. If you don't know them well enough to fill out a personality test for them

you are in for some adverse surprises.

Some personality types don't mix. I wonder if there are pre-nup counselors that assess personality mixtures.

7. My ex and I went through that very thing. We had pre-marriage

counseling with a psychologist and we had pre-marriage counseling with the priest and he still cheated, repeatedly. I never remarried and still miss him sometimes after more than twenty years.

The MBTI test has combatability suggestions based on type but I don't think many people use it.

Here’s the link to a short form of the test here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1237&pid=526

9. I never tested anyone in the family except my niece and it

was no surprise she tested as an introvert. INFJ's are supposed to be rare but I have read other opinions that dispute that. Nice to have another in the group. As you can see most of us are introverts which makes sense if you are a loner.

I hope you have a lovely day.
