These seem sensible. Calling on the collective experience of my readers, can you think of any questions you wish you’d asked before you got married?
UPDATE: Go check these out, they’re much better. [HT to AnonWoman.]
You are a Working Class Warrior, also known as a blue-collar Democrat. You believe that the little guy is getting screwed by conservative greed-mongers and corporate criminals, and you’re not going to take it anymore.

Just one: Can you admit when you are wrong?
“How much time will you waste on teh internets?”
Why me!?
hello
Before you get married, you should ask yourself if you have fun with your partner. Do you laugh a lot when you are together? Do you talk a lot? Laughing and talking is essential.

If you wish to know what goes on in a bride´s mind, visit my blog: thebridesmind.blogspot.com
“Why?”
1) just how crazy is your mother?
(has she ever sawed off the bottom half of all the kitchen cabinets in a temper tantrum, etc.)
2)how does your family feel about expressing anger? expressing feelings in general? did they fight fair? how did your parents treat each other? what kind of relationship did they have? what did they value about each other? What was your role in the famly dynamics?
3) does your family have a history of varied interests in life/hobbies? seek knowledge and truth? enjoy more escapist/entertainment? see denial as a viable coping skill? why do they think they are on earth?
4) are there any recurring patterns in your family, (addictions, financial problems, sensation seeking) that might give you a clue what unconsious core beliefs he may hold

Two off the top of my head:
“When was your divorce final?”
and:
“How often do you like to have sex?”
What is no. 7 (Will there be a television in the bedroom?) doing there without the companion question (who gets to hold the remote?”)?
i found those questions in the aricle quite odd - i mean, if you live with someone prior to the wedding, you should know the answer to most of those questions. and in any long term relationship, don’t people talk about that stuff?
the truth seems to me though, that no matter how much you plan or make agreement, no one knows what the actual being married is gonna bring out in them or their partners, or how it will go. no one talks about that.
“Are you a whacknut who likes to hit people?” springs to mind.
A friend sent me the link to Before You Get Married, Make Sure He Doesn’t Have Herpes or a Coke Problem.
Favorite questions from the comments: “Are you, or do you ever plan to be, a republican?â€
And: “It gets bigger than that, right?â€
and, of course, all the discussion in the world won’t help if one of the parties isn’t being truthful.
Anon, these are SO much better. LOL…
Biggest question I wish I’d asked myself: “What the hell are you thinking?”
