Top 5 Topics Couples Should Discuss BEFORE the Wedding

It is a good idea to write down your decisions and keep them in a handy place for reference.

1. Finances
Who will be responsible for paying the bills? How much debt are you bringing into the marriage? How will decisions be made on purchases for big-ticket items? How much do we save?

2. Faith/Religion
Do we govern our lives by the same morals and standards? What part will religion play in our marriage?

3. Estate Planning
Are our Wills and Trusts in place? Do we have enough insurance in case one of us dies? What plan do we have in place if we should become physically or emotionally disabled?

4. Children
Do we want children? How will we plan for our child’s future? How will we handle discipline?

5. Intimacy
Men and Women have different ideas of what intimacy means to them. Make sure you are aware of each other’s viewpoint on intimacy.
