text: what questions should i ask my mate before getting married?   let's see...are you willing to spend the rest of your life with me? what is your view on divorce? have you ever been convicted of a felony? do you have twins in the family? does anyone in your family have any major health problems? how do feel about children? how would you raise a child? are you happy with your career? my list can go on! sit down with your mate and talk about your ideas and concerns before you get married. it's a great way to see his/her point of view! best of luck!
