Top Twelve Questions To Ask Before Marriage

11. Have you ever hurt someone physically or emotionally?

This question is vitally important and it is equally important to do more than just ask the question. You also must keep your eyes and ears open to signs of abuse. It is a serious red flag if you find yourself walking on eggshell to pacify your partner.

Things to watch out for are if your partner tries to control you, threatens or belittles you, or treats you disrespectfully. You also will want to watch how they treat other people, including their family members.

If you see signs of abuse don't fool yourself into thinking that underneath they are a great person and that you can help them. Get out and get out quickly before things escalate.
