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.
Leave all those discussions. People discuss more than this and still have failed marriages. Let God's word be your bedrock and take it along in every little step.

No not Nigeria,America,I'm African American.I don't want kids,blame it on babysitting if you wanna wink
Funny how a lady wouldn't wanna have kids, cos of babysitting? If u wanna get married the n procreation is a necessity. Remember u're an offspring of someone. And as a lady u're a potential mum

People discuss more than this and still have failed marriages isn't enough reason why you shouldn't discuss it.

Talking about letting God's word be your bedrock..
Luke 14:28-29 (KJV)
28: For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him

Luke 14:28-29 (Amplified)
28 “But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first getting estimates and then checking to see if he has enough money to pay the bills?

29 Otherwise he might complete only the foundation before running out of funds. And then how everyone would laugh!

This aspect really hurts.. when you truly love someone and they end up having the opposite genotype. trust me, most people dont look at this aspect.

I know its hard to keep but you should discuss it. A friend said he would love to have 12 kids shocked grin. What if fiancee wants 2 or 3 kids?
If na woman, dem no go tell am before she stop after 3 or 4.
Women who have lots of children never get their alignments back to normal.

Re: 6 Topics To Be Discussed Before You Get Married by Nobody: 12:33pm On Jan 14, 2016
Well... these things and more should be discussed. For instance, I want a very small wedding. Do the payment of bride price in my dad's living room with just his family and mine in attendance. Go to court the next day, sign all the necessary documents and go home afterwards. But my boyfriend wants the glamour, noise, people, food, drinks and the whole big wedding shebang.
However, we both want just 2 kids.
