Questions to Ask Your Potential Rishta

How many kids do you want (if any)?
Some people want a lot of kids, some do not. This can be a real big deal breaker for some. Curry Bear himself wants to have 2 cubs, a boy and a girl. Yes, and I will name them Luke and Leah Currywalker. I just hope they never make out with each other.

How religious are you?
Some people are more religious than others. How religious someone is sometimes a good indicator of how they dress. So ask yourself, do you want your wife to dress like a hot slut so other guys will envy you or a Taliban prisoner so you don’t have to get crazy jealous every time someone asks her what time it is? Unless it’s Flavor Flav…then it’s OK.

What is your occupation?
Yes, you are the man and the provider but you want to know what would happen if something ever happened to you. Can she can step up? Also, some guys want to make sure the girl is not making more money than himself. Now I know love don’t cost a thing, but this is a ristha so love is already taken out of the equation, but money is not. This is not a bad question. However asking her if she is a hooker is a bad question.

What did you major in college?
Now this is a good indicator of how smart, mature, and educated the person is. It this doesn’t mean that someone who majored in management is dumber than someone who majored in engineering. (OK, fine it does). But it also tells you what kind of mindset this person has. If she is doing BS in psychology, she really doesn’t know what she wants. A girl who did pharmacy however, is used to working hard and knows what she wants out of life. She can also hook you up with free Viagra.

Can you cook?
This is a question people take for granted. Food is important to a man. He won’t tell you because it’s mean to say and all he wants at that moment is sex. But I mean, once your married you’re going to have sex maybe 3 times a week, but you’re going to eat at least 30 times a week. You do the math.
Are you a neat freak or a slob?
This is usually not a problem unless one of you is an OCD neat freak. In most cases, neat freaks and slobs can coexist. But you might want to ask just to make sure you don’t get yelled at when you don’t make your bed every night and accidentally miss the garbage pan when you throw away a used condom. OK, fine the last one I deserved to get yelled at for. Sorry.

How is your credit?
Desi people never pay attention to this but to some people it is a big deal. Once you get married your credit score changes. If your potential rishta has very bad credit, then they are going to bring your score down preventing you from getting loans. So all those late payments she made on her credit card that her daddy didn’t pay is now your problem.
Have you ever been married or engaged before?
If you are marrying someone from India, you better ask this question. Many guys have come to India, married a girl, got her pregnant, went back to America and never returned. So make sure you are not getting sloppy seconds.
