Before marriage series: figure out where to live your life together - a podcast by Katharine Chan

Where and how to live

It’s hard to maintain a marriage if you’re physically apart. The stress of long-distance relationships, commutes, time-zone differences would drive any couple to the edge.

Where do you want to live together?

Where would you want to raise your kids?

How do you want to live? Are you deadset on living in a specific city or province/state or country? How open are you to a nomadic lifestyle?

Have you always dreamt of living in a different country? Do you have a bucket list of places to live?

Do you eventually want to move back closer to your family?

If one person wants to put roots down while the other is willing to be on the move every few years depending on opportunities that come up (job, experience a new culture, lifelong dreams etc) this can cause major stress in a marriage. Make sure you’re both on the same page.
