TIPS FOR YOUR LIFE FROM A CERTIFIED LIFE COACH
The 16 most important questions to ask your partner before getting serious
Hi, I’m Sheri and I’m so glad your here! I’ve been in a committed relationship for over 34 years and most of my coaching practice consists of helping couples. We all want that delicious, forever relationship but many of us don’t stop at the stop signs and acknowledge the red flags. We think we can change our person or convince them that our way is best. We don’t ask the most important questions early enough. And if our expectations don’t align with our partner’s, it could lead to very rocky roads in the future. Sometimes love is not enough.
Before you give any more time or energy to a relationship, here are the questions you must discuss with your partner and get on the same page about prior to getting (more) serious.
1. Sexual expectations (create a Love Menu)
2. Want kids? How many?
3. Parenting Styles (discipline, scheduling, health practices)
4. Religious expectations & practices & how you’ll raise kids
5. Dealing with family (issues, visiting, holidays, expectations)
6. What beliefs, customs & traditions you want to instill in your children
7. Childhood traumas
8. Partner expectations (who’s doing what - chores, bill paying, etc)
9. Financial expectations, credit scores, debt
10. Family health history (physical, mental)
11. Your individual bucket lists
12. Dream home (location, style, size)
13. Dream vacations
14. Career goals and dreams. Retirement plans
15. Political views
16. Whatever else comes to mind (you can’t be afraid of the answers)
Now that you have some clarity and new awareness, what are you going to do about it?
Tag, you’re it!
