When we think about meeting someone, falling in love, and settling down, we rarely consider one of the possible outcomes of marriage: divorce. Unfortunately, divorce is a reality in some relationships. But there's a fine line between realism and scare tactics because divorce happens doesn't mean it has to happen to you. While you can't stop life from getting in the way (and unexpected barriers and obstacles from appearing), you can make your relationship as strong as possible in order to withstand them. And, ideally, this begins long before you marry. Asking the right questions can set you up for a successful marriage and help you avoid divorce.

Questions To Ask Your Partner After The Wedding
One of the most important aspects of our married lives that we must not overlook is communication. The more we communicate with one another, the more we will learn about one another. This will assist us in responding to our spouse's needs, desires, and wants. Don't take your spouse for granted in your marriage. Learn to ask pertinent questions at each stage. Here are 5 questions to get you started:
In general, how am I doing as a husband/wife?
What two things would you like to see change about me?
How can we improve or take our intimacy to the next level?
What three wishes would you like to make for our future?
What are some of the ways you would like to see our finances improve?
The idea of divorce-proofing your marriage is a lot like the idea of getting an A on an exam. It's only possible to get an A or D grade, and there is no way to guarantee that you will get the grade you want without some extra effort. However, with a little extra effort, it's possible to give your marriage the best chance of survival and thriving. Talking about these big issues before you get married and making sure your needs, wants, and expectations all line up can help you start married life on the right foot. When in doubt, communicate by asking questions, listening, and actually discussing. It's the quickest way around any obstacle.
