A Friend's Love Life

I have a dear friend who just got engaged - but I am concerned for her as I don't think she loves or respects all there is about her fiance. I think he has so many good qualities she feels she "should" love him, but I honestly feel she deep down believes she is "settling" and won't even admit this to herself. I am concerned for her committing to a lifetime when there are some key foundational issues between them, that don't work for her now. I have been there, done that with buying into a relationship where I thought I would change this or that about someone and know it does not work. I am not sure how direct or honest to be with her. .
