Love is important, but marriage also involves money, family, expectations and difficult decisions.
Before saying “I do,” have honest conversations about:
1️⃣ MONEY 💰
How will you manage finances?
Who pays for what?
Will you combine finances or keep some separate?
What are your debts, savings goals and financial priorities?
2️⃣ CHILDREN 👶
Do you both want children?
How many?
When?
How will you approach parenting, education and discipline?
3️⃣ FAMILY & IN-LAWS 👨👩👧👦
How involved should extended family be?
What happens when family needs financial help?
Where will you spend major holidays?
4️⃣ CAREER & WHERE TO LIVE 🏠
What happens if one person gets a job in another city or country?
Whose career takes priority when difficult choices arise?
What kind of lifestyle are you both working toward?
5️⃣ VALUES, CONFLICT & EXPECTATIONS ❤️
How do you handle disagreements?
What does respect mean to each of you?
What are your expectations about household responsibilities, privacy and personal space?
🚨The goal isn't to agree on everything.
It's to discover the important differences before they become major surprises.
Some conversations may be uncomfortable.
We Have to them anyway.
