So you have found that special someone and are beginning to plan a life together. These are things that are not nnegotiable and you should both agree on before marriage. Things that at some point can and most likely will become an issue. Having these talks now can save a good marriage.
1. Sexual- Do you both feel comfortable with eachother’s sexual needs? Will this be an open marriage or a committed one? Are there personal intimacy issues that could be a problem? Are there needs of one that the other can give the other without reservation.
2. Money- A big issue in all relationships. On a monthly basis it is crucial that both people agree on how the money will be saved and spent. Personal needs for both people must be evaluated and each must be on the same page. You are about to embark on a partner ship and this can make or break a good marriage.
3. Family- Do extended families like who you have chosen as a life partner? If not how much of an issue will this be? Does your partner fit into the family dynamics? Are both families the same religion? If not, how will this be overcome? How will family come together durng holidays?
4. Children- Do you both want children? What religion do you want the children brough up in? Is this agreeable to both parties? How do both partners feel about adoption if this is an issue? What type of discipline will be used? Will you have respite when you need it? If there is mental illness or health issues how will this be funded and taken care of.
5. Work- If both of you are working will household chores be shared? Is one or both partners still in school? If so, how will this be payed for? Who picks up the slack? Who will be paying the bills? Is one partner working away from home? Is this a problem for the other partner? Does one partner make more that the other? Does one partner who alot of hours? How does the other partner feel about this?
6. Life Changes- Do you both have the same life goals? Do you both want the same type of lifestyle? If one partner gets sick what is the plan? What is the plan for retirement?

Primarily, the financial stability should be discussed. It is mostly the number one problem of married couples.
You mentioned that the couple should discuss sexual aspect. I think sexuality comes naturally when two people become one and have been given the sanctity of matrimony. They become freer in experessing their love to each other.
You might be surprised how much is taken for granted and not actually discussed.
I agree. Most of the times, the couple just plunge into marriage without discussing the basic things that should be discussed first prior to the marriage.
Yes, and not knowing the important things about each other can lead to separation and then divorce. And, if they have kids it is hard on them. Better to know what you are getting into before you committ.
I absolutely agree.
That's great.
