Love & Finances
Before saying “I do,” a couple needs to think about their finances which naturally includes a realistic budget for their rings and wedding festivities. Every individual has different views on how to save money, spend it, and invest it. A couple may not automatically agree on each other’s spending habits or their approach towards money management. Money issues can not only become a stress factor in one’s relationship, but it can also become an interest of conflict. Financial disagreements are often one of the main reasons why couples seek marital counseling, as well as a basis for divorce showing that it plays a significant role in the happiness of a marriage. Talking with your partner, about financial issues or concerns, and formulating a plan upon which both sides agree on cannot only help strengthen marriage but can also solve problems concerning financial mishaps.
