Things every couple discuss before getting married

Career
How will work be negotiated? Will both of you work?
How many hours a week? Will it be okay for one of you not to work and
under what circumstances? If one of you were to be offered a career
opportunity in a location far from the other's family, are you prepared
to move? How do your levels of ambition match or differ? Are you okay
with them being different? If they match, does it cause competition and
how do you handle that in the long term? Work is usually a big part of
your life (taking up a third of a day) so it is important you both
understand how it plays out in your future lives together.
Free Time
What do you enjoy doing together and apart? How
have you developed 'play' and free time? What are the expectations about
how you'll spend free time once married? How much time will you each
have together, alone or with your own friends? Do you respect each
other's friends? How will you divide chores? How much free time will be
devoted to chores? What does each of you dread or like to do as chores?
What chores are important to each of you? After work, your free time and
chores impact your relationship time greatly. It is important to have a
balance in both.
