5 THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE TAKING HER TO THE ALTAR

Wait! Before taking her to the altar, you need to consider these five things

#CAN SHE COOK?

Well, there is cooking and there is cooking. I am not talking about the one that looks like burnt sacrifice or herbal concoction; I am talking about delicious, plate licking and tongue biting meals. If she doesn't know how to do it now, let her enroll in cooking class. Anything worth doing at all is worth doing well. Let her learn the secret of a delicious meal, if you are going to be spending all those money on a wedding you deserve a woman that can spoil you with good foods.

# DOES SHE KNOW HOW TO MANAGE AN HOUSEHOLD?

A wife-to-be should know how to budget for spending and it should be in line with her husband’s income. She should know what she will be spending on and how to cut expenses when needed to balance her budget. Does she know how to plan meals, her expenses and children expense and on a certain percentage of your income? Discuss this and let her learn before you take her to the altar.

#WHAT DOES SHE KNOW ABOUT CHILD CARE AND CHILD TRAINING?

Does she know about how to take care of children and what it entails? Can you trust her to train your children well? She should not just be a good wife; she should be a good mother too. Is she going to be a career woman that will employ nannies and house maids? Or can she balance her work with child and house care? Please discuss this before taking her to the altar and make sure you reach an agreement.

#IS SHE ACCOMMODATING?

Is she the type of woman that will not want you to see your family members or help them? Does she see your mother as a nuisance or think she is overbearing? Will she welcome your friends or want to separate you with them after marriage? Is she going to become a cheerful hostess or a hostile one? Can she open her arms and doors to friends and relatives or she is the type that think she should enjoy your wealth alone? Consider this please.

# DOES SHE SEE YOU AS THE HEAD OF THE HOME?

It is easy to do things to please each other when dating or courting but will she allow you to take important decisions that concern the home when you marry her? Or is she the type that supports gender equality and both of you having equal right to decision making in the home? Will she be a submissive wife and at the same time give advice that will build the home? Or does she want to be the one making the decision? Is she bossy and overbearing or is she strong, bendable and teachable? Does she take to correction or is she the type that is always right?
