Agnes Has some Questions for Ryan

In a lighter episode, Agnes surprises Ryan with three "would you ever" dating questions inspired by reality TV: would he marry someone in prison, marry a stranger sight unseen as on Married at First Sight, and stay with a partner who has an unusual habit or fetish. Ryan's answers lead into what couples need in common before marriage, such as shared values about family and children, and why you should learn about a person's habits before committing.

Takeaways

• Before marriage, make sure you share the basics, such as whether to have children and how many, even if you differ in other ways.
• Marrying a stranger or committing to someone you have not truly met means you cannot know their habits and history in advance.
• Opposites can attract, but your core values about family need to match.
