Think about how you prepare for a job interview. You probably dress a little nicer and take more time on your hair or makeup. It\u2019s the same when you\u2019re <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/misc-info\/from-meeting-to-wedding\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dating<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Now you can\u2019t judge a book by its cover, but it\u2019s important to find a partner that you\u2019re genuinely attracted to. Not just physically but chemically.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There isn\u2019t always an initial spark, but eventually something will hit you like lightning. Your palms get sweaty, you can\u2019t stop smiling or you just notice a force of energy around you. Maybe you laugh at each other\u2019s jokes or you bond over your love of horror movies or you both own cats. It\u2019s something you like about their personality, not their body. That\u2019s chemistry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s okay to also be physically attracted to who you\u2019re dating. Maybe staying physically fit is important to you, or finding someone who\u2019s a sharp dresser. You\u2019re into tall guys, short girls, brunettes, or green eyes. Sometimes it\u2019s as subtle as their smile. Physical attraction is important\u2014as long as it\u2019s not the only thing you like about them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Life Goals Align<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-jessica-rockowitz-unsplash.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-49954\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-jessica-rockowitz-unsplash-1024x788.jpg\" alt=\"family walking in field holding hands\" width=\"1024\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-jessica-rockowitz-unsplash-1024x788.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-jessica-rockowitz-unsplash-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-jessica-rockowitz-unsplash-800x616.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-jessica-rockowitz-unsplash-949x731.jpg 949w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-jessica-rockowitz-unsplash-500x385.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-jessica-rockowitz-unsplash-472x363.jpg 472w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-jessica-rockowitz-unsplash.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-49954\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-jessica-rockowitz-unsplash-1024x788.jpg\" alt=\"family walking in field holding hands\" width=\"1024\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-jessica-rockowitz-unsplash-1024x788.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-jessica-rockowitz-unsplash-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-jessica-rockowitz-unsplash-800x616.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-jessica-rockowitz-unsplash-949x731.jpg 949w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-jessica-rockowitz-unsplash-500x385.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-jessica-rockowitz-unsplash-472x363.jpg 472w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-jessica-rockowitz-unsplash.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine getting engaged only to find out your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/my-fiance-doesnt-want-a-wedding-what-should-i-do\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fianc\u00e9 doesn\u2019t want to have a wedding<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Making sure that your life goals align is so important and an absolute necessity when you\u2019re dating for marriage. Life goals include things like <strong>family, religion, finances, career,<\/strong> and <strong>location<\/strong>. It\u2019s better to get all of these things out on the table towards the beginning of your relationship. You don\u2019t want to spend 6 months (or longer) of your life with someone and realize that they never want children but you\u2019ve always dreamed of having or adopting a child.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finances are a big must-have conversation, especially when you\u2019re dating. You and your partner need to be on the same page when it comes to spending money and planning for the future. It may be the most awkward conversation you have with them, especially if debt is involved, but you don\u2019t want to be blind-sided later down the road.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Religion is another major discussion. In order to have a healthy relationship, it\u2019s best if you have the same spiritual beliefs. At the very least, be open to learning more about your partner\u2019s religious beliefs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other life goals like career and location may not be as serious of a non-negotiable, but it\u2019s still important. Decide if you\u2019re okay with your partner\u2019s dangerous job or that they work long hours and weekends. Do you want to move often or stay in one state for the rest of your life? If a family member gets sick will you be okay letting them move in with you?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If one or more of these goals don\u2019t align with what your partner believes and wants, you may want to rethink your relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Your Values<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-49955\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"two girls laughing and throwing leaves\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash-949x632.jpg 949w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash-549x366.jpg 549w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash-472x315.jpg 472w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-49955\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"two girls laughing and throwing leaves\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash-949x632.jpg 949w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash-549x366.jpg 549w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash-472x315.jpg 472w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dating-for-marriage-three-non-negotiables-noemi-macavei-katocz-unsplash.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, when you\u2019re dating for marriage you need to be sure that you both value the same things. This is somewhat similar to life goals but instead of tangible items like money and family, values are important principles within a person. Some of these principles include honesty, trust, respect, communication, and even humor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Honesty<\/strong> and <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wedding-planning\/marriage-prep\/5-tips-for-communicating-your-way-to-a-healthy-relationship\">communication<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should be two of your top values when seeking a spouse. If you can\u2019t be honest in how you feel about something or someone, you\u2019ll never be able to make it down the aisle. If you wish they would pick up the tab every once in a while, say something. If you don\u2019t like how they treat you in front of their friends, say something. If you think they have bad breath, say something. Be open and honest about the big and little things that you want or that bother you. Talk things through, don\u2019t just ignore it or shut them out. Just remember, some things can be fixed while others can\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Trust<\/strong> and <strong>respect<\/strong> are also major things that both of you should value. If you can\u2019t trust the person you\u2019re with, nothing will work. You\u2019ll be stuck in a paranoid relationship and ultimately end up questioning everything. This includes anything from cheating with another person to stealing money out of your purse. Respect is also a highly valuable trait. You deserve to be respected and loved and adored\u2014don\u2019t settle for anything less. This value may not even include you! Are they respectable to their family, friends, elders, servers, the mailman? Respect yourself by finding a partner that respects those around them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Humor<\/strong> may seem like a silly value but think about this: do you want to spend the rest of your life happy and laughing with your best friend? That\u2019s marriage\u2014a good one filled with humor. It doesn\u2019t mean you have to marry a total goofball or class clown, but find someone you can laugh with. If they are too serious to laugh at themselves, they may not be worth your time and that\u2019s no joke.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re not sure what you\u2019re attracted to, have your life goals figured out or know exactly what you value, that\u2019s okay!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take some time to figure it out before you go searching for your perfect person. You\u2019ll definitely guard your heart against future heartbreak the more prepared you are about what you want in a life partner.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s nothing like the beginning of a relationship.
