Money Talk Matters – Premarital Financial Program

Good. This means that you have opened up with your soon-t0-be spouse about your finances and there is some cause for concern.  Great! Why do I say that? Because you are talking about your financial background before you walk down the aisle. Can you imagine what would happen if you did not?

Imagine walking down the aisle saying I do, knowing all the while in the back of your mind you hope that he does not find out about your debt. Let me ask you, how do you plan on keeping this from him once you are married? Should you? Remember three out of four married couples argue about money. Furthermore, we have all heard that money is one of the top reasons for divorce.

The fact that you are discussing the bottom line and it is causing concern, I say ask the soon-to-be groom the same thing. What is his financial background? This way you do not feel as if you are the only one in the hot seat. Trust me right about now you feel as if you are in the hot seat and want to change the subject.

Not necessary. Your learning to discuss money issues now will serve you well throughout your marriage instead of avoiding the tough topics. Share with me, how do you plan on starting the “Money Talk” today?
