\"couple<\/a><\/p>\n

Money issues are important as every other thing when it regards marriage; but people rarely pay attention to this. You would always hear talks about love and compatibility when marriage is concerned, but rarely anything about finance.<\/p>\n

Considering certain issues regarding money and finances would make the couple aware of what they are entering into, and this could save future money disagreements that could hinder the growth of that marriage.<\/p>\n

Below are important money questions that should be thought through: <\/b><\/p>\n

1. FUTURE PLANS\/FINANCIAL PHILOSOPHY <\/b><\/p>\n

Both partners should have an idea of each other’s goals, future plans and their financial philosophies. It could be a huge problem when partners have a wide difference when it comes to financial thinking and aren’t even aware of it. Financial philosophy is what would affect a person’s action regarding savings, investments, budgeting and planning for kids, housing, cars and other important things. It’s also important to know where your partner aims to be in coming years \u2014 this financial knowledge would help a lot.<\/p>\n

2. DEBTS <\/b><\/p>\n

It would be so unfair to enter marriage without telling your partner if you are in debts. Being open about your finances would help your marriage a lot. Carrying a previous debt into your marriage might be the beginning of a new problem if you don’t tell your spouse.<\/p>\n

3. RED FLAGS IN SPENDING HABITS <\/b><\/p>\n

If you have difficulties in your spending habits, it’s important that your partner is aware of it, and it would be easier this way to curb the habit in a way that it won’t hurt the union. Difference in spending habits might look so little and ordinary, but it’s a marriage killer if not properly handled.<\/p>\n

4. BILLS PAYING <\/b><\/p>\n

There are two kinds of bills every marriage is faced with: the day-to-day bills and the long-term bills. There should be an agreement on how the bills would be split in a way that would keep both partners happy enough. It’s also important to not be individualistic when it comes to this aspect.<\/p>\n

5. PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT <\/b><\/p>\n

The fact that you are signing a prenup doesn’t mean you are planning for your divorce. Whether you like it or not, divorce is a harsh reality of marriage, and most couples that have been divorced never knew that their marriage would crash. It’s as well important to discuss what would happen financially if the marriage comes to an end.<\/p>\n

6. WOULD WE ACCEPT HELP FROM PARENTS WHEN WE ARE MARRIED? <\/b><\/p>\n

This question might seem ordinary but it holds a lot of weight. Many people hate the idea of meeting their parents or that of their spouses when married \u2013 \u00a0men especially. Meeting your parents for help financially should be a decision that should be made with your partner’s consent or else it could lead to bigger problems.<\/p>\n

There is no harm in creating that financial awareness before saying ‘I do’; but you could face a lot of harms when you neglect such issues.<\/p>\n
