Top 10 important questions to ask your partner before getting married (a kind of pre-marriage checklist):

Do we share the same vision for the future?
(Career goals, where to live, lifestyle, retirement dreams.)

Do we both want children? If so, how many, and how would we raise them?
(Parenting style, discipline, education, values.)

How should we handle money as a couple?
(Separate or joint accounts, budgeting, saving, debt, spending habits.)

What role do faith, religion, or spirituality play in our lives?
(And how will we respect or share those beliefs together?)

How will we handle conflict and disagreements?
(Do we fight fair, listen, and find compromise without resentment?)

What does loyalty, commitment, and fidelity mean to you?
(Clear expectations help prevent misunderstandings later.)

What do you need from me to feel loved, respected, and appreciated?
(Love languages, emotional needs, intimacy.)

How important are family and friends in our lives?
(Time spent with in-laws, traditions, boundaries with extended family.)

What are your expectations around roles and responsibilities?
(Household chores, career priorities, childcare, work-life balance.)

Are we both willing to keep growing, adjusting, and working on our relationship long-term?
(Because marriage is a lifelong process, not a fixed point.)
