I’m a strong believer in not wasting time, and dating is no exception. For friends dating with marriage in mind, I think these 4 questions are critical to align expectations early:
1. What are you looking to gain from a relationship?
2. What are your long-term goals (5/10 years)?
3. What are their long-term goals (5/10 years)?
4. Are your goals aligned? (Think physical location, resources, timeline, kids, etc.) What doesn’t align, and are you both willing to compromise?
Even if someone doesn’t have a concrete 10-year plan, it’s essential to have open, transparent conversations about expectations and boundaries. If you can’t talk about these things early, to me, that’s already a red flag!
What are your non-negotiables when it comes to dating? 1 reply
