Things to Consider Before Getting Married

If you are reading this that means you either have someone whom you think is “the one” or you are currently looking for him or her.  You are making the right choice to consider the important factors before making a huge life-changing decision. However, no marriage is perfect, so no matter how many articles you read or how much advice you soak in, you will still run into problems in your marriage sometime in your future. Marriage is more than just having a roommate; it is sharing your entire life with another person. So, before you say “yes” and sign up for online singing lessons to wow everyone on your big day, you first need to ensure you're making the right decision all you need to do is consider a few important factors. To help bring you some perspective about marriage, here are some things you need to think about before saying “I Do”.

1. Are You Marrying into Debt?

Money shouldn’t ever be the reason that prohibits you from marrying the person of your dreams. However, it is an important factor. Does this person have a substantial amount of unpaid debt lying in the corner ready to haunt you in your dreams? Starting a marriage off with debt is never a good idea. It can cause unwanted stress and strain on a newly married couple (which is the most vulnerable time in a relationship). It can even manifest in problems before the vows, by preventing you from splurging on the wedding dress of your dreams or booking the perfect honeymoon in Kuala Lumpur. We aren’t saying you should throw your person into a ditch just because they had problems handling their money, but you may want to consider putting off the wedding date until the debt is paid off. Just make sure all the cards are out on the table; basically, saying your significant other has been 100% honest about this or her debt. This is to ensure there are no surprises after the wedding!

2. The Future and Kids

It is very common for couples to discuss their future family size when they are in early stages of dating. However, if you haven’t had that conversation yet with your special person, it is a good idea to have that now before marriage. Do want them, or do you not want any? Can you imagine the two of you bringing up your kids and maybe buying your child a pet, like a hamster to keep in the hamster cage? Children are a life-changing decision, just like marriage. It is important to have a similar outlook on what your “future” family will look like. Ask each other how many children max would they want, and how many minimum. Or would they ever be open to adoption or fostering? If your significant other says they want two kids and you want three, that is nothing to stress about.

You’ll also want to think far ahead financially and talk about where you’ll be in life when you have kids. Will you be able to afford tuition or to hire a top-tier tutor? These are all important questions to consider. You don’t need all the answers now, but they are something to discuss before you make a lifelong commitment.

3. Religion

Religion can be a huge barrier or deal breaker for many relationships. It is common that most couples have already addressed the topic of religion, however, some haven’t. If this is you, and you are open to potentially trying out other religions or you have strong convictions about other religions it is a good idea to express those thoughts with your person. How important is it that your partner is willing to practice the same faith with you? Or how will your partner's religion affect your lifestyle or the life of your future children? It is important to address beliefs, however, don’t get worked up if you don’t see eye to eye on every belief you have. Everyone on this planet has their own unique outlook on faith and religion.

4. Location

Location is a huge topic whether it sounds like it or not. Depending on where you end up living is a huge life decision! Will you have to give up your family and hometown? Or will you be forced to live somewhere with harsh weather conditions? Where do you envision yourself putting down some roots? It is important to talk what your partner finds to be important in their future permanent home. Is that to be near family? And who’s family exactly do they want to be nearer? However, you do have all the time in the world to figure out where you want to live, you have your whole life to move around to different cities. Your first home may not even be where you stay!

5. Living Conditions

Living with someone for the rest of your life is not as easy as it sounds. Remember the last time you had a roommate? A sibling or a friend? No matter how much you love them, they will always have certain habits of living that will annoy you! On top of that, when you live together, you’ll eventually have to make relationship-based decisions like purchasing a mattress for your marriage bed or taking on a home renovation project. A good rule of thumb is to make sure you can still love that person without letting their pet peeves and habits get in the way, and that the two of you will be able to make decisions together—no matter how big or small.

New Report Shines a Light on Home Safety

How safe is your home? Or your city? It’s a question moms everywhere worry about, and for good reason.

Now you can find the answer that question, as on-demand local home services

company SERVIZ has just released its first national Home Safety Rankings (HSR) Index, a useful and important look at home safety statistics from over 100 major metropolitan areas across America.

SERVIZ is an easy-to-use home concierge that offers a safer, more transparent way to book and buy home services online or using your mobile. It's a useful service for moms, whether you need a handyman, electrician, plumber or other independent contractor.

To create its HSR Index, the company sent out a detailed survey to 65,000 of its customers nationwide to ask them about their home safety concerns and approaches. The resulting national HSR Index at https://www.serviz.com/national-hsr-index incorporates those customer responses as well as U.S. Census data, providing an important and timely look at America’s home safety habits—and how moms and homeowners can improve them!

Who Are You Inviting Into Your Home?

Most of all, the HSR is a reminder that the best deterrent against crime, and for promoting home safety, may just be exercising caution about who comes through your front door.

The HSR results from SERVIZ include some pretty shocking statistics on outside home contractors when it comes to local services, with as many as 25 to 35% (or more) failing simple background checks by SERVIZ in major cities across the U.S. This is just one of the many reasons SERVIZ is committed to stringent county, state and national background checks for the Service Pros in its own independent network, followed by active license verification for all applicable service types (learn more at https://www.serviz.com/lp1).

The HSR also provides additional useful advice and insights that it hopes will help to keep homes safer against theft, fire, floods and more in cities and towns across the United States.

Help from the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC)

The HSR also includes useful home safety advice, insights and links, from the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC), which has contributed tips to emphasize steps that moms can take for increased safety against criminals in their homes.

The NCPC tips include advice for homeowners to make sure doors and windows are locked, and with secure, up-to-date and dependable locks and deadbolts. Security systems and cameras (inside and out) are other excellent precautions, as are flood and motion sensor lights outside the home. NCPC also recommends that moms take a video inventory of the home and its valuables for future reference, while also compiling and maintaining a list of item descriptions and serial numbers, for use in case of theft.

Keeping People Safe

With the HSR, SERVIZ is doing their part as responsible corporate citizens who care about the safety of moms, homeowners and their communities.

Ultimately, the company is seeking to promote overall home safety awareness and preparedness, and to offer ways for people to avoid crimes as well as hazards. The company plans to continue to assemble and release additional local and future Home Safety Rankings going forward, as a vital way for SERVIZ to give back to the community and help homeowners stay safer.

Pescatarians Rejoice! Fish Isn't Just Cheap, It May Improve IQ and Sleep Habits in Children

As a parent, one of your main concerns is doing whatever it takes to help your child succeed in life. You may try putting them in different programs to meet people, teach them about different cultures to help them understand others, or try to find ways to boost their brain functions.

While meeting new people and understanding others is important, a new study might be able to help with the last item on the above list. The study, published in Nature Scientific Report, says that children ages nine through 12 who eat a lot of fish during the week are more likely to score higher on an IQ test. In fact, according to the study these children will score four points higher and stay more focused than children who don't eat fish at all. As any of the 5.4 million PK-12 students currently in private schools know, focus is key to excelling. Could fish really be the key to academic and IQ success?

Jennifer Pinto-Martin, the study author, released a statement on what the study found.

“It adds to the growing body of evidence showing that fish consumption has really positive health benefits and should be something more heavily advertised and promoted,” she said.

According to WTVR, the omega-3s found in the fish might help with brain function, but it has been said to potentially improve a child's sleep as well. If a recent survey shows that of over 2,000 Americans, 37.5% said that they slept with a stuffed animal during their childhood. If they slept well with a stuffed animal, think of how well they'd be able to sleep with fish. To come to this conclusion, the researchers tested 500 Chinese children ages nine through 11. They asked the children to reveal who has had fish in the last month. They then asked the children who did eat it how often they did. When the children turned 12-years-old, they were then asked to submit to an IQ test.

IFL Science says that the scores revealed a potential correlation between fish intake and brain power. As the intake of the fish went down, the IQ scores did as well. Those who were eating a lot of fish were also found to have less-disturbed sleep at night. While the study did find some interesting data points, the fish theory has yet to be scientifically proven.

The scientists are currently hoping for a more definitive to be started so their finding can be proved to be 100% true. Until it is actually proven, we can all take a look at the already existing benefits of omega-3 and eating fish. Some of these benefits include being good for heart health, helping in the treatment of medical disorders, and having potentially great skin benefits.

Regardless of the study facts, Pinto-Martin suggests that parents should start feeding their children fish by the age of two.
