How should a couple discuss where they will live after marriage?
Last reviewed:
Direct answer
Residence should be discussed before the decision is finalized because it affects work, family support, privacy, finances and daily responsibilities.
Ask whether the plan is joint family, separate home, another city or overseas relocation, and whether that plan is fixed or negotiable.
The answer should be clear enough that both people understand what life may look like after marriage.
It also helps to ask what might change after six months or a year. A temporary joint-family plan, for example, is different from a permanent expectation, and both sides should understand that difference.
