There's never a 'right time' to get married. We are conditioned to believe that the 'right time' is when we are in love with someone and want to spend the rest of our lives with them, but in reality, that feeling is fleeting and when the reality and longevity of marriage sets in, sometimes love just isn't enough.

Only July 23rd, Twitter user @cxkenobxkerry, posted a thread that she titled, "Don’t Get Married Before:" She went on to list 20 MAJOR talking points that couples should cover and agree on before they ever say, 'I do!" or take that long walk down the aisle.

She covered all types of topics from religion to cheating and sexuality. As married person (and child of many, many divorces), I have to agree with her.

I've seen these issues cause HUGE disruptions in relationships and I've seen marriages end over them. The thread has over 220K likes and 60K retweets, as well as many additions from other Twitter users.

Check out her top twenty pieces of advice below.

She began...

Money!

IN OR OUT! No in-between!

Kids.

Health (especially sexual health)

5 AND 10 year plans...

Religion...

Mental health...

Vibes...

Clothing...

Sexual compatibility...

Finances...

Age and compatibility...

Boundaries....

Social media. Yes, this affects marriages...

Savings...

Cheating...

Respect and expectations...

Death...

Romantic expectations...

And what is less important...

She then responded to the feedback...

Don't get married just so you can have marital liberties...

Do what you want!

She highlighted this won't SAVE your marriage but it can help...

The internet of course reacted...

With many confused that people don't already have these types of discussions...

It's a must-read!

Some people added their own tips...
