Knowing all these about them doesn't mean you know the kind of person they are, it only means that you have information about them.

Knowing someone you want to marry should go beyond having information about them. You should be able to define the kind of person they are. You should know the...

Can I and this person coexist peacefully? And so on

The answers to these questions will give you a clear picture of what the marriage will be like. And then you can choose if that's the kind of marriage you want or not.

And sometimes you think you know your partner well enough to get married to them. But soon after marriage, they become an entirely different person to you.
