I just read the article - one of the ?s was Should there be TV in the bedroom?
Too late for me! Where was this when I was getting married?
Excellent article! Everyone should read this article before getting married. Maybe pass it out with each engagement ring sold!
Wait a minute! Shouldn't couple have had this discussion way before they even got engaged???
It is funny that some people don't ask these questions before they get married. It is almost like they are afraid to ask, like they don't want to know the answers because they will then know something that may ruin the relationship. It is like if they ignore it it will go away!
What about all those arranged marriages? Most of those marriages work out fine and they never have this questions asked and answered! Got to leave some things to chance.
Finance ? is a good one. I had no idea that my husband credit was so bad until I married him and we could get a mortgage for a house.
