1. Do not assume he/she will change

Many people get into marriage hoping that their partners will change over time. Some people never change no matter how long you wait. Life is too short to keep on waiting for someone to change.

2. Look at character not attraction

Some people are often confused by the looks of their spouses. Such people never look at the true character of their partners. Character plays a great role in the success of a person. Look for a partner of good character and avoid focusing on their looks only.

3. Never ignore his/ her emotional needs

The emotional needs of your partner are crucial. You need to ensure that his or her emotional needs have been met before walking down the aisle. This will lead to happiness and intimacy in the relationship.

4. Never ignore financial needs

Never ignore the financial needs of your partner. Understanding your partner's financial situation will make the affair stronger. Being aware of whether they are financially stable or not will help you deal with different financial challenges whenever they arise.

5. Avoid premarital sex

Sex can be misleading as it can make one think they've found the right woman or man when in reality that may not be the case. Shun premarital sex and instead focus on intellectual commitment if you want to avoid marrying the wrong person.
