10 Pertinent and Important Inquiries to Ask Your Significant Other

In our society today, we are so focused on the fairy tale, the perfect wedding, and the happily ever after that we don’t really think about specifics. No one teaches us what is important in relationships. Instead, most of us have to learn through trial and error.

Our divorce rate is really, really, high. Too high. And why is that? Well, it could have a lot to do with the fact that most people don’t know that they should talk about deep things that will impact their future. In fact, in order to live happily ever after, there are some really important questions to ask your significant other.

10 important questions to ask your significant other

Dating is not just about s*x and romance. It’s a time to test your compatibility with each other. Sure, it seems like you get along great in the beginning – it’s that way for everyone. But if you’re going to have a future with this person, then you need to get down to the basics. So, here are 25 important questions to ask your significant other if you want to be together for the long haul.

#1 Are you close to your mother? If they have “mother issues,” this could present a problem down the road.

#2 Are you close to your father? Or maybe their father didn’t even help raise them. Talking about their parents can give you a big clue about who they really are.

#3 Did your parents give you more positive or negative messages growing up? If their parents were negative, that probably lead them to have low self-esteem.

#4 Are you an optimist or pessimist? It’s difficult to be in a relationship with a pessimist if you are an optimist. And vice versa. So, it’s important to find out.

#5 Do you want children? You would be surprised how many people don’t ask this question! Hello?! It’s practically the #1 question to ask before you get married!

#6 If you want children, how many do you want? Ditto on this one. If one of you wants one child, and the other wants seven… ummm… big problem!

#7 Do you want the man to work and the woman to stay at home with the children? Or vice versa? Does your partner want to have traditional gender roles? Or do you want to go against mainstream expectations?

#8 Where do you want to live? Some people like the city, others the country or suburbs. Hopefully, you’ll both be on the same page about this one. If not, it’s going to be a long-distance relationship for you.

#9 Are you a spontaneous person or a planner? Believe it or not, this can cause problems if you are opposites. Both of you will get equally irritated by the other.

#10 Do you like to travel? Some people do, but not everyone. So, if you’re a traveler and your partner is not, you need to know. So this is why it’s one of the important questions to ask your significant other.
