[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing.  We conducted full financial and medical due diligence as well as fully negotiated division of labor and responsibilities along with contingencies that cover most possible scenarios (including zombie apocalypse).[/quote]

It's not romantic but when we started seriously discussing getting engaged and married we had a lot of discussions about current issues and future wishes/expectations. After we were engaged we basically had a "business meeting" for lack of a better term.
-We really got into financial history, current spending habits, expectations for how finances would be combined or divided, future investment goals etc.
-We each had full physicals and discussed past health issues (physical and mental), family history, current health, and future wishes in terms of life-saving measures/life support.
-We talked about goals and timelines for buying a house (Sfh/condo/townhome? MD or VA? Starter home or Forever home?)
-Whether or not we wanted children and if so, what we expected to happen (both of us continue working or someone stay home?).
-Since DH is an only child and my mother had a debilitating disease we discussed how to ha dle decisions regarding how to best help our parents as they age.
-We talked about things that we believed would constitute reasonable grounds for a divorce and whether or not we believed in pursuing counselling prior to going down that route.
-We also discussed creating a pre-nuptial agreement.[/quote]
