Before you settle down with someone, it is vital you know all you can about that person. You don't have to agree on things or share opinions but you do need to know their stance on matters. By delving into one another's thoughts now and discovering how the other person feels, you'll be better prepared for a future together. As an added bonus, the following questions will start a dialogue regarding things you may have never thought to talk about.
This book is divided into 13 sections; current life, work, just for fun, past life, future life, education, politics, money matters, extended family, children, sex, household, and health. Some questions you may not want to ask; feel free to skip past those or any that don't pertain to your relationship. Have fun with these questions!
