Gotta let me take a dump with door open. That's dealbreaker right there.
Reminds me of the old joke: You know the honeymoon is over when you're taking a shower and the wife comes in to take a stinking dump.
As for me and my house... close the door, please. kthx.

I'd want to know to what extent each of us can do our own shit. Like someone mentioned above, the joined-at-the-hip relationship isn't really my thing.
Totally agree with this one. I've been married a long time and the freedom to make decisions about things that don't involve each other has been a great characteristic of our marriage. For example: My buddy calls, "Let's go to the game tonight." Me: "Okay!" I don't have to call my wife to see if it's okay, and she won't whine, "What am I going to do? Waaaah!" She told me last week that she's going to New York for a few days with her mother and sister in July. By the time I knew about it, it was a done deal. "Have fun!", I said. We're married, but still individuals.

I intend to raise my children, in the grossly unlikely event I should have them, as Reform Jewish. Insisting on another faith, or its absence, would be a dealbreaker.
This is surprising to me. How do you believe this helps your children? I mean, you don't adhere to any faith, do you? Are there just some fundamental life lessons involved that you believe will help your kids?
