8 Must-Have Conversations Before Getting Engaged

DAY 1 OF 5

Day 1: Faith

“Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?” - 1 Corinthians 6:14

So, you’re thinking about popping the question, huh? Or perhaps you have a hunch that your boyfriend is going to be getting down on one knee soon. Whether you’re planning the proposal or planning on getting proposed to, it’s an exciting time. It’s also time to dive into some deep topics to ensure you’re on the same page before taking this next big step in your relationship.

The first must-have conversation is about faith and religious practices.

It's super important to get on the same page about your faith and how you're going to weave it into your life together. To make sure this conversation is fruitful, start by scheduling dedicated, uninterrupted time to talk about your beliefs. This shows that the conversation is important and deserves your full attention. Begin by sharing personal stories about your faith journey and how it shapes your daily life.

Next, discuss how often you’d like to attend religious services or engage in spiritual activities together, ensuring you’re aligned on worship practices. If you plan to have children, talk about how you want to introduce and teach them about faith, considering traditions, schooling, and community involvement. Decide how you'll celebrate major religious holidays, blending your traditions to create new ones that honor God.

Being in sync on faith and religious practices establishes a unified foundation for your relationship. When you both share and understand each other’s core beliefs, it creates a consistent moral framework that can guide you through life's challenges and decisions. This alignment ensures you approach significant life choices, whether financial, ethical, or familial, with a shared set of values. It fosters mutual respect and a deeper connection as you navigate your journey together with clarity and purpose.

Also, being aligned on these important aspects helps prevent potential conflicts and misunderstandings, making your bond stronger and more resilient. Ultimately, this shared spiritual foundation can be a source of strength, comfort, and direction throughout your life together.
