How should couples discuss career expectations before marriage?
Last reviewed:
Direct answer
Career expectations should be discussed directly before marriage because work affects residence, finances, household roles and family planning.
Useful questions include whether both people expect to work, whether relocation is possible, how late working hours are viewed, and what support is expected during career changes.
This is not only a women’s question or a men’s question. It is a shared life-planning question for both sides.
