Preparing to get married? Four considerations and a prenuptial agreement
Marriage is the event of a lifetime and today, ALUXE will help you prepare for a lifetime of happiness by walking you through the 4 major indicators before marriage, prenuptial agreements, pre-wedding preparations, as well as tips and tricks for getting along after marriage.
Want to know if he or she is worth spending the rest of your life with? ALUXE walks you through 4 major criteria to assess before getting married
1. Living Habits
Marriage is the intertwining of two lives, making it no longer all about your own personal habits. As such, it’s very important to transition and adapt to each other’s living habits. It’s important to discuss and find consensus on even the littlest things such as how a tube of toothpaste should be squeezed to where things should be stored to help each other quickly adapt after marriage.
2. Concept of Money
Marriage represents the union of two people to start and contribute to a family of their own. While it’s not necessary to co-manage your money, having similar concepts towards money, forming consensus in the use of money, as well as mutual trust and communication are key to maintaining a marriage.
3. Family Background
While marriage is a vow between two individuals, it also represents a linkage between two families. Understanding your significant other’s family background so you can blend in, adapt, and become a true family member establishes a strong foundation and support for your marriage.
4. Health
Maintaining a marriage requires honesty, trust, and the understanding that you’ll face every problem together, no matter what happens. Therefore, whether healthy or not, it’s important to know each other’s health conditions before marriage so you can plan ahead for the rest of your life.
Even if you’re 100% sure you’ve found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, there is a vast difference between marriage and dating, especially the many challenges awaiting you after marriage. ALUXE recommends that while it may not be necessary to have a legally binding prenuptial agreement, it’s important to communicate and discuss the following items before marriage.
Asset distribution after marriage
How household chores will be shared
How living costs will be shared
Spending time with each other’s families
Children’s education
Communicating and forming a consensus before marriage helps reduce friction and maintain a happy relationship!
From proposal, engagement, and a wedding, what are the details that must be prepared? We’ve divided this process into 3 major stages.
1. Wedding
First, you’ll have to decide on your type of wedding. The following 3 are the most common methods:
Traditional Wedding |
Engagement and wedding ceremonies are held separately |
| Engagement and wedding held on the same day | |
Western Wedding |
Island wedding/grand overseas wedding |
| Outdoor buffet style wedding held domestically | |
Simple Wedding |
Notarial marriage |
| Simple marriage registration |
Do you want a grand banquet or just a simple registration for your wedding? Discuss and determine the right wedding method before moving on to the next stage.
2. Wedding Customs
3. Wedding Process
Finally, it’s time to plan the wedding. It’s important to plan out and memorize the process for both eastern or western style weddings to ensure that excitement or nervousness during the big day doesn’t trip you up and leave regrets.
After overcoming countless challenges and finally getting married, ALUXE offers 3 major tips for getting along. Once you’ve mastered these 3 skills, you’ll be able to live a life of love and happiness
1. Mutual Tolerance
Two families with different backgrounds are bound to clash in terms of personalities, habits, and concepts. Therefore, we recommend tolerance for each other’s shortcomings and understanding each other’s differences. Finding the most suitable and comfortable way of getting along is the first step to maintaining the relationship between a couple.
2. The Right Communication
In the event there’s something you cannot tolerate, we recommend communicating instead of fighting as that is the only way to truly solve your problems. If a fight has already occurred, it’s important for both parties to cool off before engaging in discussion to prevent similar problems from reoccurring.
3. Empathy
Finally, if you’re able to empathize and put yourself in the other person’s shoes, many conflicts and problems can be easily solved. This can even lead to better understanding of each other and of what you can do to make the other person happy to ensure that your marriage life is filled with love and warmth.
That’s all the tips ALUXE has prepared for handling life before and after marriage. Hopefully, these tips can help couples overcome any issues you may experience in your marriage. If you would like to have a beautiful marriage, visit ALUXE to choose the most suitable wedding ring for both of you as a witness to your love!
