25 questions to ask before you say "I do"
It’s a big deal, this marriage thing!
Whether you’ve been together for 5 months or 5 years, it’s always a good idea to discuss some of life’s big topics with your significant other before you tie the knot.
Communication is key
It’s important to remember that there are no right or wrong answers. If a question starts a bigger conversation about that topic, then that’s great. Ideally, these questions will open the door to some good chats and a deeper understanding of each other — which can only be a good thing before you get married! If you can discuss these kinds of issues with an open mind and gentle honesty, you’ll be set up for the future.
So plan a cosy night in, grab a bottle of wine, and see if any of your lover’s answers surprise you!
