Show Notes
You both want to get married. But have you talked about what married life together will actually look like?
Who handles the money? How involved are your families? What happens when one of you is struggling with your faith? And are you hoping something about the person you’re dating will change after the wedding?
In this episode, we’re walking through 16 questions every couple should ask before saying “I do,” covering faith, family, finances, everyday life, and sex. These are practical conversations that can help you understand what you’re each expecting before you build a life together.
We’ll talk about:
- What a Christ-centered marriage looks like in everyday life
- How to talk through differences in beliefs and convictions
- Supporting each other through seasons of doubt
- Family patterns you want to keep or change
- Setting expectations around in-laws, holidays, and parenting
- Getting honest about debt, spending, and sharing money
- What you expect your lifestyle to look like after the wedding
- How you’ll share household responsibilities and the mental load once you’re married
- Making room for time together, friendships, and alone time
- Talking honestly about sex, pornography, and sexual history
- Whether you’re secretly expecting your partner to change after marriage
If you’re seriously dating or engaged, watch this together. Pause after each section, ask the questions, and give each other room to answer honestly.
The more you understand about each other now, the more intentionally you can prepare for marriage.
Let’s talk about it.
