Signs You’re Not Ready To Get Married

You And Your Partner Differ On Having Children
This is another serious issue that should be addressed early on in a relationship, certainly before you decide to get married. Wanting to have children or not and deciding when to have them are some of the top reasons marriages fail. If you want to avoid being a statistic, you both need to be on the same page before you get married.
Additionally, it’s also never a good idea to hope your partner will change their mind regarding their stance on children. This means, for instance, if they’ve explicitly stated that they don’t want them, don’t make plans to get pregnant anyway hoping they’ll change. If they do indeed change their views on wanting children, let them come to you with the decision, don’t pressure them into it.
