A meaningful conversation before commitment can shape a lifetime together. Before a family finalises an alliance, our counsellors encourage both sides to sit down and talk openly. Here are five questions worth asking.
1. What are your expectations from married life? Understanding day-to-day priorities — career, family and city of residence — avoids surprises later.
2. How do you see the role of both families? Every household has its own rhythm. Clarity here builds harmony between two families.
3. What are your long-term goals? Ambitions around work, higher studies, children and finances are best shared early.
4. How do you handle disagreements? No two people agree on everything. What matters is respect and communication.
5. Are your core values aligned? Faith, traditions and lifestyle shape a shared future. Honest answers today make for a happier tomorrow.
