Dear ladies,
Before you marry him, ask for the following:
1. His genotype (to help prevent avoidable sickle cell disease in children)
2. HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C test results (with mutual testing if possible)
3. His blood group (useful to know, especially in emergencies)
4. A discussion about fertility and any known reproductive health issues
5. Financial plans or potentials
6. His family history of conditions like diabetes, hypertension, cancer, or inherited diseases
7. His views on children, career goals, and where you will live
8. His expectations about household responsibilities and family roles
9. His mental health, lifestyle habits, and use of alcohol, to***co, or other substances
Marriage is more than love. Honest conversations before marriage can help you both make informed decisions and build a healthier future together.
Which number (s) is more important for a man? Did I miss anyone?
