6. Am I ready to think of him/her as a parent of my children?
我是否准备好让他/她做我孩子的父亲/母亲？

You love your partner like mad? Great. But do you also respect them? Are you proud of them? Remember, your legacy to this world will be as much a part of you as of him/her.
你疯狂地爱着你的另一半？很好。但是你是否也尊重他/她，为他/她感到骄傲呢？记住，你对这个世界的遗产就是你们二人结合的一部分。

Unless it fills your heart with joy to think of them as a parent of your children, you should probably think about that marriage thing again. In this regard it’s important to take not only your significant other, but also their family into account. Your child will carry as much of your genes as theirs. Is that something that makes you happy?
除非你一想到他/她会成为你孩子的父亲/母亲就满心欢喜，否则你恐怕应该重新考虑婚姻这件事。在这一点上，不仅要考虑你的另一半，还要考虑到他的家庭，这是很重要的。你的孩子携带的他的基因会和你的一样多。这会让你感到高兴吗？

婚姻是一个会改变你一生的决定，不管以何种方式。记住一些基本的原则，问自己这些正确的问题。这会确保你避开那些通常会导致离婚的陷阱。
