Hey! We're Britt & Kyler

We've worked with thousands of engaged couples and have seen time and again: unmet expectations are the fastest way to frustration in marriage.

Does your future spouse expect you to keep a budget? Why are you getting married? How does faith impact your marriage? How often do you expect to have sex?

All of these questions help you get on the same page, and the best time to do that is before you get married.

Why are these questions important?

Each of you will come into marriage with a set of expectations... these expectations can be influenced by your culture, your family, or any number of things.

In some cases, you're aware of your expectations (for example, you likely know if you do or don't want kids). But in other cases, you may not actually know what you expect or think your expectations are common for everyone.

When you go through these questions before marriage, you start to unearth your expectations and get on the same page with you and your future spouse.

What does this cost?

It's totally free and will always be free.

Is this faith-based?

We primarily work with engaged Christian couples to help them prepare for marriage.

These questions will help anyone get on the same page, regardless of your faith background, but we want to be transparent that you will see content that is created for Christian couples and discusses marriage through a Biblical lens.

Why just 50 questions?

A quick Google search will give you other sites that have hundreds or thousands of questions you should ask before marriage.

And while we're a big fan of asking questions...

These 50 questions are (in our opinion) the most important questions you must answer before you get married.

Each question has been hand picked through our own experience, research, and working with thousands of engaged couples.

Why do I have to enter my email address?

We work hard to provide helpful, practical, and comprehensive resources to engaged and newly married couples.

We ask for your email address so we know you're a real person looking for these resources to help you prepare for marriage.

We will also send you some other helpful links along with the freebie.
