你做好准备了吗？结婚前要问自己的6个问题

I was once with a guy who lied about his age on Facebook, and I never asked him about it. We were six months into the relationship when I discovered he was five years older than I thought.
我曾经交往过一个男人，他在Facebook上伪造了自己的年龄，而我也从没问过他。当我们交往六个月时，我发现他比我以为的要大五岁。

Yes, you guessed it – that was not the only lie on which the relationship was based. No wonder we didn’t stay together much more than a year.
没错，你猜对了——这并不是他对我撒的唯一一个谎。难怪我们相处没到一年就分手了。

Knowing your partner and allowing them to know you are vital aspects of a stable relationship. Trust takes an immense amount of work (and time) to build, but only seconds to lose.
对于一段稳定的感情来说，了解你的另一半并且让他们了解你是至关重要的。建立信任需要大量的努力（还有时间），而失去信任只需要几秒钟。

Be honest and tell your partner everything you think they should know about you. This will make it easier for them to do the same. Needless to say, if you can’t trust your partner enough to do that, it is probably not the time to think about marriage.
诚实地告诉你的另一半所有你认为他们应该知道的关于你的事情。这样让他们坦白起来也更容易一些。不用说，如果你还不能足够信任你的另一半这样做，也许你们还不是时候应该考虑结婚。
