You\u2019ve gotten engaged (congratulations!) and now you\u2019re ready to throw yourself into wedding planning mode<\/a>. Picking out flowers, going to cake tastings, there\u2019s so much to be excited about before getting married!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s almost too easy to lose some perspective on doing the work that\u2019s going to set you up with a strong marriage (and not just a beautiful day). Once the honeymoon is over, are you both going to be on the same page about where you\u2019re living, who\u2019s handling which bills, or when\u2019s the right time to start trying for a baby?<\/p>\n

Not sure? Not to worry! Check out this list of six things every couple should talk about.<\/p>\n

\"6<\/a><\/div>\n

Finances<\/h2>\n

Getting aligned on finances has got to be one of the most crucial conversations you can have pre-wedding. And for good reason \u2013 it can become a major issue in your marriage\u00a0if not discussed openly! It\u2019s essential that you talk about things like spending habits, savings, bills, vacations, and bank accounts.<\/p>\n

\"6<\/a><\/div>\n

Career Goals<\/h2>\n

A career can touch on many aspects of your marriage, depending on the particular job. For example, if you\u2019re planning on pursuing a master\u2019s degree in order to get a promotion at work, that\u2019s going to affect your finances, your schedule, and your mindset. Your partner needs to be aware of your future goals and what it\u2019s going to take to achieve them! Both of you also need to be aware of the fact that certain jobs may require a lot of travel or possible relocation. Would you both be ok with that? Keep each other in the loop about your jobs and what you\u2019re both willing to compromise on.<\/p>\n

\"6<\/a><\/div>\n

Family Relationships and Kids<\/h2>\n

Do you plan on seeing your in-laws during the holidays or are they coming over every weekend? That\u2019s probably something you\u2019d want to know ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Then, if you haven\u2019t discussed having a family (and when you plan on starting) that\u2019s a conversation you absolutely need to have before getting married. While on the topic of kids, discuss parenting styles and hypothetical situations. It may seem a little silly, but it\u2019s definitely something you will both argue about if you don\u2019t see eye to eye once kids are in the picture.<\/p>\n

\"6<\/a><\/div>\n

Religion and Core Values<\/h2>\n

Before saying \u201cI do\u201d it\u2019s important to discuss your individual values and beliefs, such as religion, traditions, and politics. You may not always agree, but you need to respect each other\u2019s viewpoints and ensure that they\u2019re not a deal-breaker before walking down the aisle.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"6<\/a><\/div>\n

Communication Style<\/h2>\n

Having a difference in communication style is normal in relationships! While you might want to address a disagreement right away while your partner would prefer to revisit the conversation once the dust has settled. Many couples learn to deal with it and accept their differences before getting married. Different communication styles only really become a problem when partners don\u2019t understand their differences and fail to accommodate one another.<\/p>\n

\"6<\/a><\/div>\n

Love Languages<\/h2>\n

Knowing each other’s love languages will seriously benefit your relationship! By understanding what types of actions will make your partner feel most loved and appreciated, you\u2019ll both be on the right track to a happy and healthy relationship.<\/p>\n
