We are offering this 100 Questions Before Marriage because in our work as marriage counselors we have found that far too many couples lack a lot of basic information about each other before they get married. For example, there is a TV commercial being aired right now where the new husband is singing about not knowing that his new wife had bad credit so rather than living in a nice suburban neighborhood like he expected, they’re being forced to live in the basement with her mom and dad. That’s just one example of the kinds of things that couples need to know before they say “I Do.”
The questions are intended to help you give you information that you need to know so that you can make an informed decision about committing to spend the rest of your life with this person. In responding to the questions, it is essential that both of you be “gut-wrenchingly honest”—that you tell the truth and the whole truth as you respond to the 100 Questions Before Marriage exercise.
These questions have been modified somewhat from a Christian Broadcasting Network program by Julie Ferwerda in 2007. It was entitled, “Talk It Out Before You Say, ‘I Do.’” Both partners are to take turns answering the 100 Questions Before Marriage exercise. You may take as much time as you need to go through the list. After all, you’re planning to be married for life so you can afford to take the time
The questions are grouped into seven categories. The first two are included in this article. The remaining five categories will follow.
