1. Be with them through the recovery from a minor/moderate medical procedure. One that may require a few days of taking it easy.
2. Spend a week visiting with their parents. I love my DH but man these things bring out the worst in him! I’m sure I would have married him anyway, but would have been nice to know he turns into a complete ass on these occasions. What’s on your list? |

Be on the same page about finances is really the big one.
My MIL did a complete 180 after we got married (for the worst) so spending time with her before we got married did nothing. She didn't lose her shit until things were official, I think because when I was a girlfriend she wasn't threatened by me. |

Go on a two week vacation and see if you can survive 24/7 one on one.
Live together and see if you can handle each other’s idiosyncrasies |

Too many years as a couple, not married = you aren't getting married

| Who spends a week with inlaws if you aren't married? Sheesh. People without kids should be backpacking Europe or going on great Caribbean vacations! There's never a better time. |

| Getting lost on the way to something. We got lost on the way to a wedding ( accidentally clicked on an ad in our GPS—thank goodness those are gone), and my boyfriend handled the situation really well. Married him. |

| A really long car trip. That always unveils people's true colors and compatibility. |

I’ve been married ten years and never spent a week with our parents. Wtf?
Have an Ikea experience together. Get lost together. |
