1. The one who believes trust is of utmost importance

Gargi Agnes Kujur answers on Quora: Gaining her trust is important. Marriage is a very complicated relationship yet the most beautiful. Emotional attachment is more important than Physical attachment. Apart from being physical, if both are familiar with each other then sure things will be fine. First night is already tiresome because of all the function and stuff but still, they can talk and then sleep cuddling each other. The couple can talk or share incidences or can sleep all together. It might be little awkward but hey, they have to spend rest of their life together.
