1. "Will you be able to work out of the home?"
Perhaps you or your fiance' can make this type of an arrangement work in you marriage. Some couples have found that working out of the home is preferable to driving to work on a daily basis. Others have found home employment a viable option when starting a small business or when making a transition to another company. Some couples even work together.
Talk about whether this option is a possibility in each of your lines of work and whether such an arrangement would be helpful or detrimental to your careers and marriage.
2. "What was the saddest moment of your life?"
I always get a lump in my throat when, during the wedding ceremony, I ask the couple to repeat the words: "For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, and in health." I suppose this is because I realize that every marriage will be filled with these inevitable ups and downs of life.
Sadness is as much a necessary component of existence as are happiness and joy. But i know that, when I talk about my own moments of grief, I am somehow lifted beyond them and experience the healing I need. As two people consider marriage, they would do well to talk about their times of grief. This makes for a much deeper marriage and enables husband and wife to give empathy and support when needed.
