Most couples focus on the wedding, not the marriage. But starting married life with financial literacy is one of the best gifts you can give yourselves. Here’s why it belongs in your wedding prep.
1. Money is a Top Cause of Divorce
Studies show finances are one of the leading sources of marital conflict. Education builds shared understanding.
2. A Joint Financial Vision Prevents Future Fights
Learn how to budget, invest, and plan together before merging finances.
3. Your Wedding is a Financial Event
From vendor contracts to deposits and balances—financial skills help you navigate the biggest purchase of your relationship so far.
4. It Sets a Foundation for Generational Wealth
Financial literacy helps you avoid debt traps and make decisions that benefit your future family.
5. A Gift That Lasts Beyond the Day
Unlike centerpieces or cake, knowledge stays with you. Consider gifting yourselves or your bridal party a financial education course.
