The 3 Questions You Must Ask Before Getting Married-Sunscreen Love Audiobook

The Coach Ratner Podcast

Let me know your thoughts about the podcast. Thank you for listening!

Facing uncertainty about whether to marry your current partner? This episode delivers the framework you need to make this life-altering decision with confidence and clarity. We dive deep into three powerful questions that cut through confusion and reveal whether your relationship has true "forever" potential.
The journey begins with an honest look at physical attraction – not just surface-level appeal, but that deeper magnetic pull that grows stronger as you discover someone's inner qualities.

At the heart of every successful marriage lies a shared meaningful purpose. While most couples obsess over wedding details for a five-hour celebration, they neglect preparing for decades together. We examine why common interests like enjoying the same music or sports can't sustain a lifetime commitment, and what truly binds couples through life's inevitable challenges. You'll discover why marriages based solely on raising children or accumulating wealth often crumble once those goals are achieved, and how to build something far more enduring.
The final questions are tailored specifically to men and women. For men: "Am I willing to make her happy for the rest of my life?" This requires envisioning your partner through all of life's changes and committing to their happiness regardless of circumstances. For women: "Do I respect my future husband?" We explore why genuine respect forms the foundation of a woman's satisfaction in marriage, and how to distinguish between acceptable quirks and true deal-breakers.
Ready to move beyond wedding planning and build a marriage that stands the test of time? These three questions will guide you toward a partnership filled with genuine attraction, shared purpose, and mutual respect – the essential ingredients for a lifetime of happiness together.
