“Ladies, asking some simple questions can save you a world of hurt. What kind of family did he grow up in? What was his childhood like? What past hurts has he not dealt with that could one day be an issue in your relationship? What is/was his relationship with his parents like? How many serious relationships has he been in, and how and why did they end? Has he ever cheated? What is his philosophy for managing his finances? What does his credit look like, and how did it get that way? What’s the worst thing that ever happened to him, and how did he come through it? What is his prayer life like?”
