Marriage isn’t just about love—it’s a partnership that includes money. Talking openly about finances can strengthen trust and set you up for success. Here are 5 crucial financial topics to discuss before saying “I do.”
1. Your Money Mindset
How did you each grow up thinking about money? Were your families savers or spenders? Understanding financial values prevents conflict.
2. Debts & Obligations
Be transparent about student loans, credit card debt, or family obligations. Hidden debt can cause resentment later.
3. Savings & Investment Goals
What are your priorities: a home, travel, retirement? Aligning goals ensures you’re working toward the same future.
4. Budgeting as a Team
Decide how you’ll manage household expenses—joint accounts, separate accounts, or a hybrid?
5. Estate & Insurance Planning
It’s not romantic, but wills, insurance, and beneficiary designations protect your spouse if the unexpected happens.
