Guide for relationship
Ask the right questions

By Imfwama Wotela

I have been discussing the importance of finding a relationship that is going to create value for you, your partner, and people around you, including children that may be a result of a relationship. It is very important to first ask yourself what is the main purpose that you seek a relationship. Once that is clear in your mind, you will be better off in setting the goals and developing a path to get there. (Related: Jessica Simpson unable to forget Nick Lachey)

To develop a plan for finding a relationship, I am listing here at least some questions that you need to ask. Let me say that this is not the only questions that you need to ask. You might have your own set of questions. Add them to the list. Similarly, there are questions that may not be relevant to your situation. Ignore them for the time being. What is important is that you ask the questions and then seek their answers. It is perfectly fine to sit down with your partner and ask the questions directly. Tell her/him that knowing the answer is important to you. So be real with yourself and ask the following questions:
