A-what? Anyway. many years ago a blood test was required before you got married. They told us naive ones that it had to do with RH factor or something. Truth is, it was really for diseases. I don't think blood tests are required any more.I know they aren't where I live. Or maybe I didn't understand your question. But maybe I have helped a little.

If your wife is A+, there will be a definite RH factor problem with any children you might have. I think either O+ or O- is ok with A-. Either research this question further on the web, or ask a doctor, because before you try to have any children, you should be 100% sure there will be no complications. I have heard of A+/A- parents having a baby that had to have all of its blood exchanged at birth to save it's life. I don't think there are any "restrictions" on getting married to any other blood type, just health reasons for knowing the blood types of both people.

No, there are not any restrictions prior to marriage. When your wife is pregnant, her blood type will be tested. What matters most is her blood type. If she is Rh negative, she will receive an injection called Rhogam during pregnancy and after delivery. This is because there is a small chance of mixing of blood between mom and baby at delivery and this could cause a severe reaction in mom if she is Rh negative and baby is Rh positive. If you are really concerned you could do genetic counselling, however I doubt insurance would cover this. Some people will choose this option if there are diseases or birth defects in their families and they want to know if they are a carrier, etc, such as Cystic Fibrosis or Sickle Cell Disease. Hope this helps.

Normally, no.
If both partners have the same rhesus factor, there's no problem.
If the mother is rhesus positive and the father is rhesus negative, there are no problems either.
Problems come if the mother is rhesus negative and the father is rhesus positive, if it so happens that the baby is also rhesus positive.
If I read you correctly, you the husband are A negative. So, there shouldn't normally be problems about rhesus incompatibility. Questions can be asked also during the first antenatal appointment.
