This is a great question and deserves a great answer! The best response is always the truth, but if your truth is that you are going to marry Danny next month and start a family, this might not be the best answer. Always remember that it takes a lot of time, money, and energy for an organization to invest in and onboard a new employee. Even the best organization with the best employee support would be reluctant to hire someone who may exit within the year. Keeping that in mind, provide an authentic answer that is true for you and demonstrates your investment in the organization's potential investment in you.

"I recently got engaged, and we have a wedding date in two years. Since we both graduated, we are dedicating ourselves to getting a good start on our prospective careers. We love this area because our families are here, so we are eager to stay. We are hoping to purchase a home in the valley once we save up for a down payment."
"In five years, I hope to have purchased a home here in the Indianapolis area. I also hope to improve my German skills and become truly fluent in the language."
