I hope you're talking about these things BEFORE you get married. These are real life things that can cause resentment in a relationship if people go into it with unfulfilled expectations. I encourage people who are either newly married or planning their wedding day to get into the discussion of “who will clean the toilets…?” and load the dishwasher, and mop the floors, and pay the bills, and chauffer the kids, etc.
I'm not sure when would be an optimal time to learn about love and what we need in order to feel loved in any relationship. This is a little story of how I wish I would have know about the five love languages well before I got married. It probably would have altered my choice.
