It will be important to talk about money openly and often with your spouse. The conversation should include discussion around lifestyle choices – travel, dining, shopping, home, and personal purchases.

Going into the marriage it may be wise to have a prenuptial agreement. There are many questions you should speak openly about and seek professional financial counsel to discuss like names on the bank accounts, mortgage & car titles, insurance, credit cards.
