Interesting. My hubby and I have discussed all these things over the 3 years we've been together. I think some of this is quite fundamental stuff and Id be worried if couples hadnt talked about them. Having differing opinions on such things could have an effect on long-term compatibility.

I already earn double what he does anyway so that issue raised its head before we started dating

How do you know those are rarely discussed by couples? Do you mean engaged couples or married couples?

i assume he or she got them from an article..and they are discussed by most rational folks who think with their head and not with their heart, imho

My husband and I discussed many of these things before we got married and he continues to ask me about some of them just to be sure we are on the same page. Those are all important questions.

Either engaged couples or married couples, I just had this little enigmatic thought about this topics since I know due to lack of communication, I'd still think couples should discuss these matters.

most rational folks who think with their head and not with their heart, imho

This should be discuss by any engaged, married couples sitting down with each other with both head and heart.

no, to discuss these topics which are value and behavior base..needs to be done with one's brain..no the heart..which taints the discussion and bases in on emotions

We've certainly talked about all the above.

I imagine any normal couple would as well.

I think we've gone over these to some extent and are actually dealing with some of it right now. I think it is certainly good to talk about it but you can't always predict how you or your partner will react when the situation actually does happen.

I like to have some back up ideas in mind to issues that will come up or have an idea of our expectations of each other, but you really can't know what will happen until you "get to that bridge" so to speak.

We discussed all of these (except maybe disability, can't recall that one) before we ever decided to apply for the visa.

Don't forget religion. Many couples divorce over that.

Well, in my point of view, those questions mentioned are unspoken questions that whether you like it or not, you have to deal with as you go along in a relationship (which ever is applicable). But the thing is, you just need to make "respect" stay put and everything will go just fine. Every individual has own preferences, its just a matter of "respect" to compromise with each other.
