Knowing what goals you have and any changes you anticipate in your life will allow the interviewer to evaluate two things - what positions are available that won't disrupt your plans and if you are interested in having a long-term relationship within the company. Either way, being upfront and honest is always appreciated.

"I recently became engaged. Although we have not set a date yet, we have agreed to wait twelve months before the marriage. My fiance' just passed the Bar exam here and has been offered an opportunity to join an existing law firm. Presently, our plans are to stay where we are and build a career, not just work a job. Also, we do not plan on having children for at least two years after our marriage. We both feel that being able to become established in our careers and save for our future would be the responsible thing to do before starting a family."

"I have no plans of relocating, and all of my family live close by. I have traveled before and have come to a place in my life where I want to find a stationary position and grow with a company. With those things in mind, I do not see a predictable circumstance that would cause me to be unable to continue employment."
