Things All Women Should Know Before Tying the Knot!
Growing up, we all imagined what our life would look like once we hit the big 30, once we had kids, or once we got our first paycheck. There’s a lot to love about reaching all of those milestones before tying the knot.
But as I reach them. I’m realizing more and more that I wish I had been more conscious of how much there is to love about the lead-up, too. Even some of the darkest moments — breakups, fights, or career juggles. You name it…actually turned out to be beneficial in the long-haul.
Given all the hype and hoopla around finding “The One” and getting hitched, we often forget to focus on all the awesome things we can and should be doing for ourselves and our relationship before we say “I do.” For that reason, I feel like every woman should have a premarital bucket list.
Here are things every woman should do before tying the knot:
Travel with your squad
Travel with your sister(s) and/or closest female friends. Not saying you can’t do this after you get married, but lots of ladies agree there’s something especially liberating, eye-opening, and bond-bolstering about doing it beforehand.

Travel with your future partner
Everyone can get along for a weekend, but see if you can stand each other for a whole week, dealing with travel dilemmas, and whatnot. Some people say the best way to do this is to live with your partner, in order to really get to know them. But the ultimate test is definitely traveling together. So, before tying the knot, Travel. Travel broadens the mind and is the best way to widen your horizon. It does push people to their absolute limits.
Get your finances in order
Make it a point to clean up your credit and make some serious sacrifices so that your future husband wouldn’t have to carry around the burden of budgeting mistakes. This was a serious decision you made without him before he married you. It’s also not a shabby idea to do it for your own peace of mind.
Focus on your Education
Not that you can’t do this once you’re married. You may want to spend pre-martial time on getting one -or several degrees. This basically means that you should start making your dreams or personal achievements come true. Your career and ambition should be part and parcel of life before and after you are married. A mutual yet carefree understanding of each other’s choices in life should be paid attention too.
Tip: For being financially independent, make sure you have the right education.
You know and trust your partner
No matter how long you guys have been together, you need to know your partner completely. Don’t get married just because you’ve been dating for four years. Get married because you know your partner. You know their past and you know their hopes and dreams. You can imagine their reactions to certain things. You know all this and you still love them. Beyond that, you trust them.
Trust is vital for any relationship, so make sure you can trust your partner completely before tying the knot.

You don’t want to change your partner
Honestly, don’t marry your significant other and think they will change.
Marry them because you love them as they are. Making a major commitment won’t change anyone. Though it may make you have to work harder on your relationship. Don’t expect the marriage to change your relationship, either. The marriage is not going to heal a major rift between the both of you. Understand each other and respect each other’s thoughts. This holds true for the arrange marriage setups too.
