6 Topics To Be Discussed Before You Get Married by Nobody: 10:07pm On Jan 12, 2016
Am a Relationship person. Though not married, but I try to learn a lot.
Apart from choosing the wedding date, venue and caterer for your day, there are other deeper issues you both need to discuss with each other. Issues where you need to open up to your partner completely and let him/her in.

Without discussing these crucial issues before marriage might be unwise and may have repercussions later on in the marriage.
Here are the issues below:

1.Your past: Have you told him/her about any negative or positive experience from your past that has a significant effect on your life? Your history can impact your marriage’s future. Allow him/her to be part of it and move forward as a couple. Do not let your past haunt your future.

2.Family obligations: How will you celebrate the holidays? Do you plan to spend Christmas at your folks’house, and New Year’s Day with his family? Things as simple as these can spike arguments in the future. Lay all the cards down in terms of your financial obligations on each side. Are you okay with allotting a certain percentage of his salary to his parents?

3.Division of house labor: When it’s just the two of you at home, hiring a helper may mean an unnecessary expense, so it’s only practical that you two discuss the division of house chores. If you really loathe washing the dishes, compromise that you’ll be in charge of cooking and table cleanup. If your man hates doing the laundry, volunteer to wash the clothes and ask him to be in charge of the clothesline. This way, you won’t hate each other, while maintaining the upkeep of your love nest.

4.Sex: Newlywed sex is fun and exciting, but as you count the wedding anniversaries, one of you can sometimes overlook its value. Explain to him your expectations and limits, or how you two can maintain the spice in the bedroom.

5.Secrets: Whether it’s something you did that you regret, a health issue, or a family secret, he/she deserves to know it. Also, since he’s basically going to be part of the family, divulging these details matter. It’s better that he/she hears it from you than from someone else.

6.Faith: If you have different religions, say, he’s a Renewed Christian and you’re a Catholic, confer with one another which church you’ll be spending Sundays at. Also, if you do plan to have kids, finalize what religion they’ll be following.

. I think that's something that should be on the list,if one part of a pair wants kids while the other doesn't it could cause issues,arguments.Someone would have to give in.Best to make sure your compatible before taking a step down the asile.

I THINK WOULD-BE COUPLES SHOULD ASK EACH OTHER: HAVE U ABORTED PREGNANCY BEFORE? WOULD U ALLOW MY SIBLING TO STAY WITH US FOR 2YEARS FOR THEM TO BE ON THEIR OWN?
Re: 6 Topics To Be Discussed Before You Get Married by lurlah2014(f): 10:44pm On Jan 13, 2016
Talking about the nos of kids is important, cos i have witness a soldier giving his wife an option of divorce or abortion after the 3 children deal they had #when she was pregnant for the forth time which he said she broke their agreement of strictly 3 children
