Look, we all love a good wedding—the outfits, the food, the high-energy vibes. But let’s be real for a second: a wedding is just a day; a marriage is a decades-long marathon. It’s a partnership that basically dictates your mental health and daily happiness. While that “spark” gets you through the door, things like shared values and genuine respect are what keep the lights on.
If you’re planning to marry soon or have a friend who’s about to get married, then here are five simple yet important questions one should ask themselves before taking the plunge– as shared by entrepreneur and creator Ankur Warikoo in his social media post.
Warikoo isn’t just talking for the sake of content; he’s been with his wife, Ruchi, since they were 19. They’ve navigated dating, marriage, and raising two kids over the last 20-plus years. His biggest takeaway “Marriage should never be an adjustment.”
