Marriage is a long journey, and the right questions early on build a strong foundation.

1. What are your long-term goals?

Career, city, family planning — alignment here prevents friction later.

2. How do you see family roles?

Understanding expectations around joint families, responsibilities and finances is essential.

3. What does a normal week look like for you?

Daily rhythms reveal compatibility better than big declarations.

4. How do you handle disagreements?

Everyone argues; what matters is how.

5. What are your non-negotiables?

Knowing each other’s boundaries early is a sign of respect.
