Well, I wouldn't rush into it, but I wouldn't over analyze it either. Just relax and enjoy your relationship, or you won't have one at all.

View points and opinions on: How money will be handled Who will pay the bills Will money and debt be shared or kept seperate How will disputes be handled? What are the sexual expectations in marriage? Who does the housework? What religion and how often will church be attended? How will holidays be celebrated? What will happen if something happens to limit one partners ability to work, earn income or, worse, limit mobility or physical or mental capabilities? Will there be children? What is most important in raising kids? How will marriage change how free time is spent? Where is the ideal home? City? Country? Large house? Condo? (I actually know a couple who divorced over that!!) ------------------------- All of that said, the fact is that some couples can spend YEARS discussing all of that and never really get down to the *real stuff*. Other people can cover it quickly. Others still seem to have the ability to "just know". That can be dangerous...but it worked for my husband and I. We met on a Monday and eloped to Vegas on Thursday. That was almost ten years ago. It is wonderful that you want to help guide your sister in to a happy and healthy marriage...but ultimately, it will be up to her and the man she marries and no one else.

Who gets to wear the dress on the big day, Kids.

1. Religion or the lack there of. will it play a part in your marriage. How important is it to you? 2. Children: Now or later, or none at all. How many? Type of discipline. 3. Money: who will work. What will happen to the money you earn. Joint or independent accounts? How much debt is acceptable? 4. Sex: any ground rules? any barriers? any limits? 5. Residence: where will you live? Is there money for it? 6. Family: How often will you visit? Together or alone? Do you like each other's families? 7. Secrets: Is it okay to have space and and privacy from each other. 8. Arguments: How will they be settled? Sex and money are the two most common reasons for divorce. That's a starter for you to work on. If you want more, let me know.
