You're thinking about spending the rest of your life with that special person. But do you really know them as well as you think? Are there areas you need to know about (or they need to know about you) that you haven't discussed? The best time to get down to the nitty-gritty with each other is before you say, "I do." You need to know what to expect after the wedding day, and to decide if you really want to spend the rest of your life with this person the way they are now.
