Ten(10) Things Every Couple Must Discuss Before Getting Married by Nobody: 9:55am On Mar 20, 2015
There is no set down rules for a perfect marriage... Infact, d term "perfect marriage" is more of an illusion.

However,there are certain questions if & when put into consideration can give a workable marriage*no assurances though*

So before U say I do,it will do alot of good to consider the following;

1) OUTSTANDING DEBT: who has some & what is the plan of paying it off?

2) CHILDREN: do U want them? If so,how many? If not,are U sure enough about the decision to take permanent steps to ensure U dn't have them? Are U open to adoption/fertility treatment if U are unable to conceive naturally?

3)LOCATION AFTER WEDDING:how will U rank your location in terms of importance for your well being? If U love where U live,what will persuade U to move---Job offer,desire to be closer to family,better schools for ur kids?

4) RELIGION: if U practice a religion or have a particular faith,how important is it to U that your partner practice it or share the same faith? How does ur religion or faith affect your lifestyle? If U plan to have kids,what religion if any do U want to raise them in?

5) DREAM HOME: U may never live in your dream home but knowing whether U or your significant other share common goals will help solidify your roles as partners in each other's lives & confirm that U are working towards the same thing.

6) BANK ACCOUNTS & BILL SHARING: will U share a bank account? Keep individual accounts? Both? And what bills will be paid by what account?

7) SEX: errrmmm! Well,your different sexual preferences...

8} FAMILY OBLIGATIONS: how much time do U spend with your family now? How much do U expect to share with them once married & potentially have children? How do U plan to spend holidays?

9) VACATIONS: are U the type of person who loves to vacation? Well then,U & ur partner need to discuss what types of vacation you do or do not enjoy...

10) CAREER: how committed is each of U to your career? Whr are U in terms of living a dream career? Do U have more schoolin or apprenticing to finish? If so,how much more time will it take? What kinda personal sacrifices will U have to make to climb the career ladder of your choice

Feel free to add yours...

finance is there tho not specified but btwn bill payment & career,dat can be sorted out. That goes for compartibility too. Eg,if u want a child & she does not or vice versa,u ppl r not compatible then.

However,a point u raised worth noting is d genotype issue so it is included.

Thumbs up @OP
If only couples talk about these things during courtship, we would have better homes with stronger family values and lesser divorce.

12. I should be able to ask myself what is good about me

13. I should be able to know what void I'll be filling in my partner's life. Also, what I'll be bringing into the Union.

I strongly believe that those should come before dating at all, so also some of those listed above like children, religion, career, bill sharing and most importantly sex. cheesy cheesy
I believe that one should not get serious with someone if they have doubts about settling down with them. In short, dont smell what u wont eat.

But the OP though, created a thread and metamorphosed into nobody .
