10 Important Questions to Ask About the Person You Want to Marry

Whether you have someone special in your life right now or not, here are 10 questions to consider when it comes to choosing your future spouse.

Marriage is a big deal.

In fact, with the exception of baptism, it might be the most important, most life-altering, most far-reaching commitment you’ll ever make in your entire life.

But the decision to get baptized is a little more clear-cut than the decision to get married—the only real question on the table with baptism is, “Are you going to commit to God’s way of life or not?” With marriage, there’s the added wrinkle of sorting out who you should make that commitment with, and how you can be sure he or she is the right person, and what you should be looking for to be sure.
