Before you say 'I do'

continued from page 3
Topic three: How do you think you'll lead your day-to-day married life?
Tick what your expectations are, then compare notes and talk through any areas where differences arise and you may have to negotiate.
On a day-to-day basis, I expect that when we are married, we will:
(tick as many options as apply for each question)

live close to where we are now/live far away/live abroad at some point/live wherever

spend every moment of our free time together/spend at least two evenings a week apart/take holidays apart/spend long periods apart because of work

both work full time/I will work and he will keep house/he will work and I will keep house

share income completely/have separate accounts plus a joint account for joint bills/have completely separate finances

share the housework completely/I will do most of the housework/he will do most of the housework/I'll do cooking and cleaning etc, he'll do boys' stuff

regularly visit our families/occasionally visit our families/spend every Christmas with our families/probably have parents or family members to live with us at some point

have our own friends of the same gender/have our own friends of the opposite gender/share all friends and see them only as a couple/not need to see friends because we have each other

divide the child care equally/I will do most of the childcare/he will do most of the childcare
