MARRIAGE QUESTIONNAIRE

One more very interesting topic and a practical one....

me and my dad were in midst of looking for a groom for my sister...

were discussing of the present system of marriage (or no system) and that ideal system of the earlier days..

Thinking technically, we jotted down all the major issues which are responsible for clashes in a house..
The matters which can cause a ridge due to the hardened beliefs involved and the habits which r difficult to change or adjust..

Here is a sort of questionnaire for you all, which may be of much use to all at the time of your marriage as happiness of all individuals greatly, depend on properly selecting partners so that views are aligned and differences are neatly adjusted. To know the mind inclinations, please write the answers to the questions below and give it to any elderly person in your vicinity act as per your counsel after collecting the similar answers from your would be partner.
