If you’re looking for a long-term relationship that could end up in marriage, it’s crucial to talk about your plans for the future, as well as your financial goals.

That includes your short-term and long-term financial objectives, your plans to buy a property, and any investment plans you might have.

You also need to discuss your communication styles, whether you’re more introverted, extroverted, or in-between, discussing the amount of time you spend together, and your love languages.

And how long have you been a certified relationship counselor????

I agree if a woman is seeking "marriage."
However, many do not and it ends in disasters.
Compatibility is very important also.

Yeah it's good to Chat and have plans for a shared future without any surprise...

That way you don't waste any of your valuable time if you're not both on the same page...

Senkora is correct in her statement. You should also discuss religious beliefs. If spiritualities is important to you and you embrace any form of religion, I feel that your spouse or significant other should know that as well. It is hard to be in a relationship with someone when you don’t understand what they believe, or what they expect. Every aspect of your life and how you live it has to be considered when you are embarking on a new relationship or looking to spend the rest of your life with someone.

I think you guys are right, people who are planning to established a serious relationship should about each other very, both religiously and otherwise. love should be mutual and understanding also should be mutual too.

True but the presence, the words, the strength and the wisdom that comes from you or your partner in each situation of life cannot be discussed nor be spoken about..It has to be experienced, be seen, be felt when both of you travel together in a journey of life through good or bad times..

The way you both react to each other, the words you share or sometimes life requires us to be silent n when silence is also being understood by your partner! the strength you both invest on the love and when wisdom from both of you helps you grow with maturity in building your relationship ahead - these has to be experienced in the journey!

It depends on how both of you put equal efforts in holding each other even in failures, putting efforts to understand, trusting, being consistent n honest in the bonding..

Certain things cannot happen as planned or it might have to be postponed or alternative arrangements has to be done too, so even if these are discussed well ahead, nothing can be guaranteed to happen as you think.. so the journey between each other in progressing your love with understanding n trust is going to help you manage things financially, can help achieving goals and still enjoy each other's presence with nurturing love!

So you suggest going on a first date (meet & greet) with a huge list of questions?
That's gonna go down well!

What you forget is that there is already some kind of mutual interest and compatibility, otherwise you wouldn't even go on a meet and greet.

Also, when feeling "it" both parties usually are willing to be flexible to meet the other at least half way.
There won't be any major core differences otherwise you wouldn't have been attracted to one another to begin with.

Financial goals and buying property...
Never has been on my agenda. I'm looking for a romantic partner not a business partner.
Maybe that's a thing when you're in your 20s and still wanting to make a career. And normally you work it out, make it work, together.
Anything that's important for both concerning money etc. will automatically be addressed at some point.

The way you want to go about it is too much from the head.
A great healthy love relationship is not from the head but forged in the hearts of both.

Not many people marry off the internet by just meeting up.

Hi

Opposites attract and make the best couples.... sometimes the difference might bring out the best in you....love is the only thing I know that actually changes anyone.so to go into it thinking you have all the answers and know exactly what you want....well that's probably why you are still on a dating site and probably will be for the rest of your life lol

It might help to know if they're into flipping houses or multi-level marketing. Could be a real downer finding that out later on. Lol

My kind of woman. I cant imagine having a shopping list to find love.There is nothing personal about dating apps or texting. I need to meet in person. I make a good first impression.

There is a difference between dating someone and being in a relationship with someone.

These all should be discussed, but I'm not sure it should be early on because it may come across as a business arrangement more than a marriage. In my opinion some of these thoughts will be discovered during courtship in just talking with each other, finding out if you are both on the same page in what you want in life. The other financial matters are something to discuss once you are engaged or later, finding out how compatible you both are should be established as you get to know each other by regular dating which may include sex.
