Who is meant to ask who, the man or the woman?
This is mostly cultural. Usually a couple just discusses marriage in general and then over time it gets more and more personal. I don't very often hear of those magical proposals anymore, although they do happen. And sometimes it's the girl who asks the guy.
What kind of blood test do you do?
There are no blood tests required in Canada, and haven't been for as long as I've known. It seems to me there used to be concerns in the medical field about certain combinations of blood types not being compatible... I don't know, really.
I dont know if you allowed to marry someone who is dying...that marriage sounds a bit suss to me.
A couple of years after my first husband ran away from home, I ran into an old friend, whose sister I grew up with. We rekindled our friendship, and saw more and more of each other. A spiritual connection happened, where I could "sense" certain things about him even when he was miles away. God told me to love him, and so love him, I did. The love between us was amazing, and we started talking about marriage. He had brain cancer. He had been given three months, but our entire relationship took place in the eleven years that followed his diagnosis until his death. I was prepared to marry him and he, me. And there is no love like the one we shared. God gave his blessing on us and on our love, and he established the spiritual connection. No one can tell me that's "suss".
Thanks for replies, i dont know anyone who gets married these days who actually can afford a house. Most still live with their parents even after marriage. There may be a separate dwelling on the property though, or shared accomodation. Or renting.
I think trying to find a house when you go to work for an employer is not going to be easy. But a lot of people these days have what it takes to make a lot of money - online businesses, investments, etc. I have no idea how they do it, but there are very young people out there driving much newer and nicer cars than mine! If they can afford a car that's expensive, they can afford houses.
Is having a separate home importnst?what if you both just cant fford it. ?
If you get married, do not live with either set of parents. Parents can be known to meddle, or relationships become awkward, and think of the spouse who is living with the in-laws. I love my in-laws and can be myself around them, but I am my "best" self around them and can't just come home from work and slip into pajama bottoms and laze around all evening. There is no intimate talk in front of them, and if it were their home, I would really not feel comfortable, always wondering what I can look through and what is off limits, etc. Not a good idea. Live on your own and establish your own home. That doesn't mean you have to buy a house... I know some couples who rent basement suites or apartments. I know one couple who converted their parent's garage into a carriage house, and that was okay for a little while, but not once children came along.
