In today's episode, I discussed other key topics like intimacy, spirituality, health and wellness goals, and career goals lovebirds should talk about before marriage and in marriage to get a better understanding of things. And this is the concluding part of the series 12 Romantic Relationship & Marriage Discussion Topics.

When we see the word “marriage,” we feel it is too deep a conversation to have. But how has shying away from it helped us? There are vital discussion topics that love birds must have to ensure they are both on the same page. This will also help them understand and have a smooth relationship. So, in this episode, I put together a few of the topics love birds should discuss before getting married, and continue to have that conversation even in marriage. It is almost like an endless cycle because upgrades will be made occasionally. So that may mean in some cases as they say it, agreeing to disagree on some of those things even in an ever-changing environment. I hope you get the message as you listen to this week’s episode of The Talk With Yaks Podcast on Spotify For Podcasters.

We all say that relationships are hard work, and the “hard” doesn’t necessarily mean anything related to intense or physical labour—for instance, your ability to practice self-control when all you want to do is let loose because your spouse hurt you.

But, some might say, I am human, so just let me be. A friendly reminder; remember your wedding vows.

So, in today’s episode, I briefly highlighted some vital things about green flags and why we should give them attention as much as red flags.
