10 Questions You Should Discuss Before
Getting Married
If you're newly engaged or have made the next step in your commitment, it's easy to overlook the essential questions to discuss before getting married. Often when couples are newly in love, they don't think they need to dig any deeper. Why mess up a good thing, they say! Others feel like they already know everything they need to know. Yet happy, healthy couples learn how to both embrace conflict and a "growth mindset." It's important to start these habits early in your relationship. In my new relationship guide for couples, "We're In Love!...Now What? The Essential Guide for Building Your New Life Together" I give you hundreds of questions, tools, and stories to help you explore all the big topics in your relationship. Out of the hundreds of questions in this book, here are my top ten essential questions to ask before getting married!
