Interests – These are things you spend time doing and investing in. These include extracurricular
activities and leisure such as church, politics, art, gardening, sports, travel, hiking, walking, beach
and water play, playing games, fishing, reading, or history for example.
You don’t have to like all the same things but you should have some common interests to build a life together.
No two people can be compatible in all areas but it is important to have enough commonality that
your lives can work together without being highly conflictual or one in which you will be trying
to make each other change. If there are any concerns, you should think and talk them through
carefully before getting married. If you keep these areas in mind, your relationship will not only
please God, but you will be pleased with your partner and your partner with you.
