24 Things All Women Must Do Before Saying ‘I Do’

Marriage is a big, big milestone for all women! And before tying the knot all women must do everything they can to be the very best they can ever be. Check out our list of must-do’s for all women before getting married.

1. Travel, travel, travel

Travel with your sister(s), closest buddy or anyone you adore and you will cherish the experiences for a lifetime. Make a list of the places you’d love to visit and just go for it. Even consider traveling solo – you’ll end up being a more liberated, happy and confident woman.

2. Check your finances

Make sure to clean up your credit and achieve at least some of the financial goals that you’ve set for yourself. Invest in an asset that you’d be proud of after you’re married (like buying a house).

3. Live on your own

Just get out of your comfort zone and live alone (sans mom and dad). Not only is it an amazing experience, it will also teach you innumerable things.

4. Learn to cook

Not because you’re aspiring to become someone’s ‘ideal wife’ but because it’s reassuring (and important) to know that you can fend for yourself in the kitchen and make yourself a hearty meal, whenever the occasion calls for it.

5. Splurge on yourself
Because you deserve it. Since you work and work even harder to save some dough, it’s important that you spend it the way you like!

6. Get in shape
Get your act together. Make a mission; a firm resolve to get in the shape by exercising and getting fit.

7. Pursue your hobbies
Think you’re good at something but never had the time to pursue it? Go for it now!! Like learning Spanish, photography, pottery or crochet.

8. Learn important skills

Driving, for instance, is an important and essential skill you must know. Ditto for swimming. Make a list of skills that you always wanted to learn but could not yet. This will make you more confident and independent, than ever!

9. Overcome your fears
What are some of your biggest fears? Afraid of sleeping alone in the dark or anything else? Whatever it may be, acknowledge and try to overcome it, step by step.

10. Appreciate yourself more

This is something most women tend to ignore. Remember to appreciate your hard work & love yourself better.

11. Experience heartbreak

Having our hearts broken and then repaired is an internal and hard journey. Eventually, it makes us stronger and much wiser than we ever were.

12. Love your body
Love your body and treat yourself to an occasional splurge, mani-pedi, facial or whatever it is that you love. Give that beautiful body all it needs and desires.

13. Date around
Make the most of your single life by dating as many handsome hunks you can find! Be safe and have good fun!

14. Decide how you feel about children

Having kids can change your life, so reflect / discuss with your partner about having children.

15. Make your career dreams come true

Passionate about entrepreneurship? Find your passion and make your career dreams come true.

16. Focus on your education

Spend some time pre-marriage on getting your degree or degrees. Of course, education is forever and the learning must never cease – even after marriage.
