Obviously, not all of these questions will apply to all people. For example, an elderly couple with no children will not have to worry about #6 before getting married and if you don’t feel all that strongly about certain career goals that are dissimilar to your partner, then #1 won’t matter much. That being said, asking yourself all of these questions before getting married will give you a lot of insight about whether or not you can stay happily married together for years to come or if you might want to stay legally single for the time being.
