good dating/ bad marriage

Yeah its like having a roommate. That's how you have to think of it as. If you've never had an experience with roommates and you lived alone or with your parents the whole time, things might be difficult.

You have to really set boundaries and talk about living scenarios when you're contemplating marriage. Like, feel free to discuss who is taking out the trash, who is cooking and when, who cleans the bathroom and when, whether you want the TV on or not when you're working, do you WANT a tv in your home to begin with, what is your role with your children, who picks up the kids after school and drops them off to soccer, what you forsee your life for your kids, does your daughter have to wear a hijab?

I mean like really try to pan out your life and see what decisions you'll have to make in the future, and you'd be surprised at how much you'll be disagreeing on...and your spouse will make it evident at how flexible they are.
