I second Silver's advice...
Definitely discuss where you're going to be 5, 10, 20, ... years from now. Marriage is a lifetime commitment (or at least, it ought to be). That means financially, professionally (for both of you), and in terms of having children (when, how many, public vs. private school, etc).
Discuss religion, even if you're of the same faith. One of you might want your kids to have a strict Jewish/Catholic/Muslim/whatever upbringing while the other could care less. Naturally, the religion discussion becomes even more important if you're of different faiths.
I'm an advocate of spending some time living on your own and supporting yourself. I'm also an advocate of living together before marriage, if that's something both members of the couple are comfortable with. I personally would (and did) wait for engagement, but that's JMO.
