The Purpose of the Talking Stage.
The talking stage is meant to help you understand a person’s true character: how they handle situations, their temperament, values, beliefs, and approach to problem-solving. It’s a time to observe how they treat others, their views on family, religion, tribe, and their vision for building a home. You should also consider their fears, weaknesses, and any emotional wounds that might affect your relationship. Physical attraction matters too—ask yourself if you would be proud to build a future and raise children with this person. Look for peace, kindness, and how they interact with strangers, as it often reflects how they will treat you. Sadly, many overlook these aspects once a partner shows care and attention. While no one is perfect, it's wise to ensure they meet at least 70% of your standards based on what you value most in a partner.
