Things Couples Should Talk About Before Marriage (But Usually Don't)

If you've never lived together, there's a good chance that you don't have a full understanding of your partner's eating preferences. Once you have to start stocking a shared pantry and fridge, you might be shocked by your differences.

If your idea of a healthy breakfast is granola and yogurt but your partner is happy grabbing a powdered donut, things might get tense. Really. One partner might resent the fact that unhealthy food is being brought into their space, and the other might feel like they are being unfairly criticized. The stakes are even higher if you choose to have children since you might worry about how your eating habits will affect them.

This is one of those things to definitely discuss before getting married. See if you can come to a healthy, happy agreement. If not, this can genuinely cause daily battles.
