If you have taken time to study your partner carefully over time and you are 'convinced beyond reasonable doubt' (as the lawyers would say) they you may now proceed carefully to marriage.
You have to proceed carefully (I can't emphasize that enough) because you need time to prove or disprove certain things, for there are questions to which you cannot readily find cut and dried answers.
If you notice some areas in which you are not in agreement, but which you do not consider major issues, you should examine these areas.
If you understand these issues better or work on them, they could help to create the desired result in your courtship, which is to solve the conflict you are facing right now.
Perhaps you need to understand your partner's belief, attitudes, values, background, priorities, anxieties and fears.
The knowledge could make you more tolerant, patient and appreciative of the personality of your spouse to be.
Looking into the following areas could help you understand your differences better and if frankly discussed, my lead to a greater understanding which could make you both decide to continue into marriage instead of breaking up.
1.
Back ground Difference 2.
Mode of Communication 3.
Conflict Resolution 4.
Forgiveness 1.
Background Differences Ask yourself if the probles you are facing right now are just the result of your background, instead of a major incompatible.
Does your disagreement, for example stem from small differences you can both work on.
Like table manners, mode of dress, or choice of exclamatory words? These could trigger disagreements.
Something like how birthdays should be celebrated, if at all could pose a major problem in your marriage.
It may depend on how it was done in your family when you were growing up, if you parents laid much emphasis on birthday celebrations and three lavish parties, it may distress you in your intended spouse does not make a fuss of your birthday, but you just marks it.
These matters can be sorted out if background differences are taken into consideration.
If you grew up in a family where meals are eaten by every member of th family at the same time, you will obviously be upset if your intended spouse does not want to eat with you.
Besides if he or she comes from a family where people are allowed to eat arbitrarily, he or she will most likely not be able to relate to your fussing.
