Hi,
π sorry, can't stop laughing, thinking I am making a post on it .... don't know if the topic has been discussed or not ....but here is goesπ
1. What age do girls typically marry at? How do you know if you are ready for marriage? okay, let me add guys... so they don't feel left out.π Same questions for guys, too.π
Varies from country to country, region to region, rural to urban, sect to sect and class to class. In India I think, for girls it's about 23-24yrs and for guys it's about 25-26yrs in the urban area.
2. What topics and subjects should be discussed before going into a marriage? especially arranged? Career, ambitions, dreams? kids?
IMO, matters pertaining to career, ambitions, dreams and kids should be made clear at the early stage so that you can decide whether your basic wants will be affected or not and whether you can consider the person as prospective husband/wife material.
3. What is a "safe" gap between meeting-engagement and engagement-marriage? Enough to develop a mutual understanding? Or am I living in 'la la' land thinking boys-girls can come to a mutual understanding? π
No idea what a safe gap should be. How about till both of them get comfortable with the idea of being engaged to each other and realising what marriage will bring for them.
4. How much should and can one compromise in a relationship? What is a 'healthy' compromise?
This part's for our esteemed married members of DM.π
5. What are sure signs for kicking the guy or a girl to the curb?π
How is this for an idea?? Offence is the best defence. So as soon as the other one lifts his/her leg/finger (for whatever reason), beat the crap out of him/her and then get down and talk.π
Guys do it all the time anyway, dump her before she can dump you.π
6. Any advice from the ones who have bitten the cake already?ππ
Me too waiting for all those words now, 'marriage needs constant work - WIP', 'love plays a big part but love alone is not everything'.π OK time for me to run...
okay, that is it ... if I think of more, I will add. πππ
