Even if they don't consider it important, those issues that bother or worry them before living together, and with the wedding rings in their hands, may not go away. And there are some issues that will not be solved alone and must be discussed before the big day in order to have a healthy and peaceful relationship. As the saying goes: "There is no worse blind man than the one who does not want to see".

If something is bothering you and you plan to let it resolve itself or solve it in married life, we suggest that you talk about it today, before choosing a wedding dress or groom's suit. We are not suggesting a solution, but that it be discussed, that it be on the table. You know each other better than anyone else and you will know how to enter into a good and necessaryconversation, in addition, they will always have some love phrases that will help them to maintain a healthy and constructive dialogue.

Here are the most important things to talk about before marriage. If any of these are bothering you or making you uncomfortable, it's best to talk about them.

1. Family

I'm sure they value their family very highly, but maybe they're not lucky enough to get along with their partner's This causes estrangement from your loved ones and from each other.

If you feel that someone is unkind to your family or you don't feel comfortable having them at family gatherings, then should talk and come to an agreement about it. It's not nice to be complicated at every meeting. Besides, eventually the children may come along and both of you are going to want your family closer than ever.

2. Friends

This is an issue that covers many things: first, if the couple has any friends who are not nice to them, must be sincere so that no one feels left behind.

If they have really valid reasons why they don't like that friendship, should try to make your partner understand your point of view and concern. In case it's just a personality issue and you don't like this friend, you should also talk it over, but maybe in this case you both need to do their part and manage to make an effort You will be able to have a better relationship with this person so you can participate more in activities together.

Second, outings with friends Many quarrel over the issue of long outings with friends because in some cases, the couple may go out even more with their friends than with their partner. So if this bothers them, you should talk about it and be honest.

3. Values

The values instilled by the family are a real treasure, so it is important that, as a couple, share the same values Values such as dealing with people, fidelity or honesty, among others, are issues that you should consider when exchanging your gold rings as a sign of commitment.

4. Secrets

If you have an important secret, one of those that you haven't revealed to your partner yet and it makes you a little uncomfortable, no matter how small and harmless it may be, tell it. Don't marry anything you've been keeping. Likewise, encourage your partner to open up and trust your relationship. This is a very healing exercise for both of you to do.

5. Children

Many boyfriends assume their partner wants to have children and have never talked about it It's one thing to be good with children, but that has nothing to do with wanting to have children of your own. Usually, couples talk about their future children before marriage and even have names ready for each one. If this hasn't happened in your relationship, talk about it to see if you're on the same page.

6. Work

Some people are very passionate about their work and although this is a positive thing, it can affect their relationship with their partner. if you can't balance your personal life with your work life. So it is important to discuss the importance of having space and quality time as a couple and that work does not become the main protagonist of your relationship.

7. Religion

A couple does not need to share the same religion to have a good relationship, but it is very necessary to that there is respect for each other's beliefs And above all, whether they will educate their children under a particular religion or none at all.

If there is love, everything is solvable, but the important thing is to talk to them, not to start planning a big marriage, think about wedding decorations or other details such as wedding rings, if they have not yet talked about how they are projected as a couple and family.
