2. Experience a stressful event with him to see how he copes.

3. Check his credit.

4. Spend some time with his mother, remember she will be your future mother-in-law :)

5. If you want children, or already have some of your own, see how he acts around kids.

6. Find out what you want out of life.

7. Find out what he wants out of life.

8. Decide which one of you will handle the finances, then teach the other one how to do it just in case.

9. Everyone has baggage, find out if you can handle his, and vice versa.

10. And finally, make sure you have that feeling inside of you, "this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with," other wise just don't do it.

I know some of these movies are probably still at the theaters but getting my husband to go to a movie is like pulling teeth. He can't sit for that long in one place. I did get him to the movies though last weekend, although he complained.... We saw Jumper. That was a really good movie, in my opinion. The ending was kind of weak though. I think it left it open for a sequel.
