When couples are asked, what the biggest problem in their relationship is, many say “money”. Some couples avoid talking about money at all costs and I am here to tell you that’s a recipe for disaster.
Before a couple marries, finding out how each other looks at and deals with money, can be eye opening. Find out each other’s credit score. A credit score is a window to that person’s credit history and how they handle money.
What are your future goals together, and if they require money, how will you reach those goals? Will you share the responsibility of paying bills with a joint account or will each of you pay certain bills? You need a game plan as a couple to know how best to handle your income together. If one of you is better at this than the other, they can handle the financial side of your life. However, the other needs to understand how it all works in case something would ever happen to the other.
Working together, and talking often about budgeting, can make for a happier and healthier relationship.
