Not surprising, #5 has always been the deal breaker in my experience. Ghosts in the closet. Surprisingly, coming clean about the past is actually a good thing when you get towards this level.
Wrong venue for anything like this. All the little MGTOW trolls will just get themselves worked into a state about how marriage is actually man-slavery and how women are evil incarnate.
I think marriage is still a hugely joined concept. It’s still as important now as it was decades ago. Good list to talk about, especially the kids and sex one
I agree with most of that, but for me, I don't think sex needs to be discussed prior -- unless it relates to #5: diseases, crimes, addictions. If you want to bring up any fetish/kink, that's up to you.

I think a lot of these things should have been discussed way in advance of popping the question.
It's far too late by then...
Also, arguments. Y'all need to see each other angry and how to handle disagreements
You'd be surprised how few people get married knowing these sorts of things about each other.
Love is accepting a person just the way they are and being married or not you can't change the past or who they are
1 is extremely important as statistics say most divorces are caused by issues regarding money / finances

Good list. Maybe also where to live (a derivative of money/career) and whether to buy property. Relations with the in-laws.

Your right and make very good points. You have to find out everything about the person in order for thing's to work.

How could you not talk about these? Even early on in the relationship we had already discussed all of these.
I like this! I feel that I can use this whenever I get married in the future.
1-4 are right on the 5th I'd say sometimes secrets are meant to stay secret...
There are more essential matters that need discussion.
I'll keep that in mind when I'm about to get married after 13 years 😂
Completely agree with the 1st 2 points. They are extremely important for a long term relationship.
There's nothing to discuss. If you're a man, don't get married. Period, full stop.
I'm just gonna add to number 1: you should also discuss credit score. You don't want to "share" your spouse's debt.
Number of partners is before you even start dating. I am not a manwhore and I dont need or want a city slut
