Before you decide about marriage
You may get along and still feel unsure about marrying someone. Explore how each of you thinks through natural conversations and realistic situations, at a pace that fits the trust you have.
Some topics below are personal or sensitive. Asking before you’ve built enough trust can make a meeting awkward or cause offence. Start with a conversation that fits how well you know each other, then explore deeper topics as trust grows.
Later, explore WellMet’s web app to work through everyday situations at a comfortable pace. Answer privately and, when you’re ready, invite the person you’re considering. It gives you a starting point for understanding each other without turning the conversation into an interview.
