Talk About Your Finances

We all know that the divorce rates in the US are ridiculous, but did you also know that the top reasons for divorce do not include infidelity? Although, it may not be THE top reason, financial issues, whether it be one person spending too much money while the other tries to save or resentment that one person makes a substantial amount more money than their spouse, are high on the list. That is why I would caution you to discuss concerns about finances BEFORE taking that walk down the aisle. Make it your business to find out/pay attention to your partner's spending patterns, make sure you two will be able to handle the bills that are sure to roll in, try to come up with a budget together. Just make sure you guys will be financially sound in order to aid in building a solid foundation for  your marriage.
