I was watching Tyler Perry's incredibly average and boring as heck new movie, Good Deeds, or something and even though it wasn't supposed to be a comedy, it made me laugh more than once! When Gabrielle Union and Tyler are breaking up, she reveals to him that she doesn't even want to have kids! Wow! Really? They live together and are days or weeks from getting married and this is just now coming up?
It's amazing how little some couples discuss before making the most important decision of their lives!
Here's what I'm going to do about it! Here are some great questions to talk about with your special someone. These should make for some great conversations and lead to more real intimacy if you answer with transparency. Good luck and be blessed!
