June is the busiest time of the year for marriages.
As summer kicks into high gear, many new couples
find themselves tying
the
knot.
And
many of those partners will have met the same way: online.
The number
one conflict in marriage is something that couples before
marriage rarely fight
over - finances (unless they have
been living together with one bank account) . One of the
reasons finances are such a major problem in marriages
is because couples deny
there
is a
problem until it is too late. After that, the blame game
begins. In addition, before marriage both individuals
handled their
finances separately, never being accountable to anyone
but themselves. Once you marry, there is accountability
for each others actions because everything one person does
affects both people.
One
way to overcome this issue and burden of finances is
to address it before you get married. When you start
seriously dating,
financial matters
is
something you should both discuss and analyze in order
to be on the same page. If you can create a plan
to manage the
problem
before it arises then you help conquer that problem. You
then overcome the odds that you'll be one of the statistics
where your romantic adventure in life turned into a money
mud-slinging competition.
If you and your partner are working together on money
issues, before marriage, then after marriage youll be set
to continue work as a team and conquer this monster that
destroys so many unions.

The key to riches
isnt in how much you earn, but rather in how much you
spend. Another key to riches
is unconditional love of your partner during the good times
and the bad times.
May
finances never be a burden in your relationships,
