Relationship Goals

These first questions may be the most important. If you don't know why you're getting married or have different views of where you'll be in a few decades, it could cause problems down the road.

Name two characteristics or weaknesses which you least appreciate in your mate. *

Give four reasons for wanting to marry your mate. *

Manage Your Expectations

Everyone has expectations about their lives. Therefore, everyone has expectations about what they think they should contribute to a marriage and what their spouses should contribute. It is vitally important to talk about what is expected in your marriage. Here are some expectation questions:

In what areas do I have trouble trusting others or feel insecure? *

What would you consider grounds for divorce? *

What do consider infidelity to be? *

For what reasons do you think the divorce rate continues to increase? *

What is your opinion of household duties? *

Who is to be the head of your home? *

Do you think that certain dates (anniversary, birthdays, etc.) should be remembered by your mate? *

Conflict and Communication

You've probably heard that communication is key to a good marriage, and it's true. Your life together will be filled with important decisions, trying times, and some conflict. It's a natural part of spending your life with another person. You can start it off right by talking about how you'll handle these situations when they come up:

How well do I believe we handle conflict?

Selected Value: 0

0 being very poorly - 10 being incredibly well

What things would I like my spouse to do differently for us to handle conflict better? *

What things should I do differently for us to handle conflict better? *

Do you think we have problems in our relationship that we need to deal with before the wedding? *

Do you expect or want your partner to change? *

Be On the Same Page About Housing

It may seem like knowing where to live is a “no-brainer” but it is still worth going over. Sometimes couples think they are on the same page about things then realize there may be some differences.

If you both have your own place, which one will you move to? *

If you do not have your own place yet, are you wanting to rent or buy a house? *

If one of you were offered a job in another state – how would that work? *

Family

Every family is different, so understanding how your future spouse grew up and their relationship with parents and siblings today will be very helpful. After all, you're each marrying into a new family.

What family values and traditions do you want to bring into our marriage? *

What do you like and dislike about your family? *

What do you like and dislike about your parents' marriage? *

Sex and Intimacy

Sex is such a large part of a marriage. Sex allows married couples to become deeply connected to one another. If you are not on the same page when it comes to sex, it may cause issues in the future.

How often should we have sex per week? *

Who should initiate? *

Am I will to discuss sexual likes and dislikes with my mate? *

Children

Another huge topic to discuss is Children. I know that some people go into marriage with children already and some people do not. Either way, here are some questions to get some facts straight about children.

Do you want to have children? *

How many children would you like to have? *

How long should we be married before having children? *

Do you consider adoption and option? If yes, under what circumstances would you adopt? *

What are your beliefs about disciplining children? Who is to exercise the discipline? *

Discuss Faith

If you and/or your spouse are people of faith, it should be discussed. Especially if you and your future spouse do not follow the same faith. Here are some starters to go over:

How important is faith in my life?

Selected Value: 0

0 being not important - 10 being very important

Do you and your mate hold the same faith? *

Do you intend to raise your children in your faith walk? *

Will you attend church together? *

Discuss Your Finances

Finance is probably one of the biggest issues in a marriage when both people are not in line with one another. To avoid a huge problem in your marriage, you and your spouse should discuss your past, present and future financial situations.

What are your financial goals? *

Are you a saver or spender when it comes to money? *

Will you have a joint checking account, separate accounts or both? *

How often should a family eat out? *

Do you consider going to the movies and having a vacation every year a necessity or a luxury? *

Do you plan to buy or rent a dwelling? *

Which of you is going to handle the money and payment of bills? *

Have you planned any kind of a budget? Will? An insurance program? *

What are your expectations for employment? Should you both be employed after you have children? *

Do you bring debt into this marriage? If so, have you worked out a solution together? *
