Quote:
1) Have we discussed whether or not to have children, and if the answer is yes, who is going to be the primary care giver?

2) Do we have a clear idea of each other's financial obligations and goals, and do our ideas about spending and saving mesh?

3) Have we discussed our expectations for how the household will be maintained, and are we in agreement on who will manage the chores?

4) Have we fully disclosed our health histories, both physical and mental?

5) Is my partner affectionate to the degree that I expect?

6) Can we comfortably and openly discuss our sexual needs, preferences and fears?

7) Will there be a television in the bedroom?

8) Do we truly listen to each other and fairly consider one another's ideas and complaints?

9) Have we reached a clear understanding of each other's spiritual beliefs and needs, and have we discussed when and how our children will be exposed to religious/moral education?

10) Do we like and respect each other's friends?

11) Do we value and respect each other's parents, and is either of us concerned about whether the parents will interfere with the relationship?

12) What does my family do that annoys you?

13) Are there some things that you and I are NOT prepared to give up in the marriage?

14) If one of us were to be offered a career opportunity in a location far from the other's family, are we prepared to move?

15) Does each of us feel fully confident in the other's commitment to the marriage and believe that the bond can survive whatever challenges we may face?

That's a great list, and very timely since my fiancee and I just visited the courthouse this morning to pick up our marriage license. I would suggest that one of them needs editing:

7) Will there be an Xbox 360 in the bedroom?

And so far there isn't, but I think we'll both be a LOT happier when there is. That would get me in bed at a decent hour, and she can sleep through it anyway.

I has the PS2 in the bedroom, but that was before my wife discovered Karaoke Revolution. Also, the DS is my bedtime gaming of choice.

We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea.

So one of the crucial questions in a marriage is about TV placement?

Wow. Good set of questions.

I sent them to Her, and got the 'we'll talk about them this weekend.' And here I thought we'd covered most of them already...

I think someone's priorities need a bit of re-evaluation.

You know, I knew a girl once that had sort of a fetish for that. Adminstering it, though, not receiving. A friend of mine joked that he wanted to hook up with her so he could then do the old "why are giving yourself a Dirty Sanchez?" routine. Sadly it never happened.

6) Can we comfortably and openly discuss our sexual needs, preferences and fears?
6.5) And then actually fulfill each other's needs as often as humanly possible?

Believe me when I say that having very similar needs and preferences is a happy, happy, happy thing...
