Serious chat #1: "when you do you want to have children?"
Finding out when - or if! - you both want to have kids is vital. If one of you wants them ASAP and the other wants them five or ten years down the line, you're going to clash. Thrashing it out and knowing where you both stand is crucial.
Serious chat #2: "what would you do if I decided to quit my job?"
You might want to quit to start your own business, or to re-train... Or to simply have a break! Knowing whether or not your partner would support you if you decided to embark on a new career is essential. Being aware of each other's career and educational goals is vital to helping each other grow, both intellectually and spiritually.
Serious chat #3: "what would happen if one of our parents got sick?"
Would you invite them to live with you? Would you be happy to pay for them to have live-in care? Knowing where you both stand on issues relating to your parents is important - touch wood you won't need to bring your plans into action for years, but it's good to have an idea of what you'll do.
Serious chat #4: "what's your ten-year plan?"
Do you want to travel the world? Do you want to set up your own business? Do you want to move to a new city? Being aware of each other's goals - both big and small - will make them far more achievable. After all, what's better than the support of your other half? (Answer: nothing. Other than champagne.)
