Absolutely agree, though I don't think its necessary to have done so in front of a counselor. Before we got married, there were a number of things that we discussed and had to make sure we were on the same page. Of those, the most important were children and religion. I personally made it a point to get an understanding before we were even serious. Now that we're married, the question isn't "Will we have children?", it's "When..." and that's much easier to figure out if both people are playing the same endgame.
