None of us is perfect. We all have our weaknesses, quirks and bad habits. What annoys us about this person? We need to be sure that we could live together and love each other even if none of these things was to change. We must not get married on the instalment plan, hoping to change this or that about our partner once married. We will usually be disappointed.

Addictive behaviour, such as with alcohol, drugs, gambling or pornography, will often require professional help and should be addressed prior to marriage, because getting married will not in itself solve these addictions.
