  • Questions Every Couple Should Ask

    Before making a long-term commitment with someone you need to know that you are compatible. You need to make sure that you can live with their life views.

    The last thing you need is to invest years into a relationship, possibly even get married just to find out you have vastly different views towards educating children, or whether women should work. I'm not saying there are right and wrong views.

    The only wrong views would be ones you would not be able to handle. For each person this is different. The questions below were devised to help you and your partner find out how compatible you really are.

    Is this the one person you can see going through life's ups and downs with?

    Find out!


    What are your religious views?

    Do you believe in a God?

    What are your views about an afterlife?

    How should we agree to handle arguments?

    If you're mad about something how will you let me know?

    If you're having problems would you talk it out or keep it inside?

    Do you like sharing your feelings?

    What are your views about same sex friends?

    How do you feel about ex-lovers being friends?

    How important is a girl's or guy's night out?

    Who should hold the main financial responsibility in a marriage?

    Should a wife stay home with kids?

    What are your views about stay-at-home dads?

    How would you feel about women who make more money than men?

    What are your views towards handling money?

    Do you feel you should save everything?

    Do you feel you should splurge a little?

    How would you rate your ability to handle money?

    How would you handle a debt problem?

    What would you do if your partner became disabled and couldn't work?

    What would you do if your partner face long-term unemployment?

    What would you expect from that partner?

    Would you have an abortion?

    What are your views on abortion?

    Do you want children?

    How many children do you think a couple should have?

    How would you discipline your children?

    Do you think couples should argue in front of their kids?

    Do you feel couples should have displays of affection in front of their kids?

    What are your views on the educational system?

    How would you want your kids taught?
    Public school, private school, home schooling, or other?

    Who do you expect would be the primary care giver for your children?

    What do you feel about interracial couples?

    How do you feel about same sex marriages?

    What are your views on age gap relationships (more than 10 years apart)?

    How would you handle your children if they were involved in one of these types of relationships?

    How would you handle your partner if they developed a problem such as gambling or alcohol?

    What would you do if your partner cheated on you?

    At what point would you consider divorcing a life mate?

    Where do you want to be in 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?

    What are your life goals?

    What are your passions?

    If you had a million dollars how would you spend it?

    Do you believe in marriage?

    Do you believe you should only marry once?

    What do you hope to gain from a marriage?

    What do you expect from a marriage partner?

    What do you feel is the purpose of a couple getting married?

    you can always have opinions but doesn't mean when it comes down to it, you'll stick with your principles....

    things are easier said than done....

      best way is to watch the person from far, before actually getting to know them. that way, you know they wont be putting on an act, becuse they dont know that anybody is observing them!

          ?!!
          by looking at his friends, by looking at how he interacts with others, whether youve ever seen him lose his temper, , whether he is dishonest (i.e. what do people say about him?) etc etc, does he have a good relationship with his parents - do u see him only shout and be rude to your parents,? (he might put on an act if YOU are there)....

          and on and on

            that MAY answer two of the questions in the list....not even the important ones.

            also, if you are going to share your life with someone, trust is the most important thing. watching someone from far to get to know them sounds so far from it. instead i suggest actually getting to know the person and discuss the questions. if you dont know the person enough and have doubts that he or she is putting up an act, well, do not marry them then and there.

            and from experience, things and ideologies can change, mature, or even worsen after marriage.

              yeah, but most people put on an act at the beginning, thats what i mean.
