Let's marry everything

Why do couples marry?

Is it for love?

.

Is it to have a lifetime companion?

.

Is it to avoid loneliness?

.

Is it to have a family?

.

Is it peer pressure?

No matter what your reasons are or were you have them. Today, I participated in a Bridal Extravaganza. It was beautiful to see the glowing [pre] brides and lost [pre] grooms. They were happy to engage in the bliss and fashion show with all the beautiful gowns.

When I stepped up to speak to everyone a silent room was filled with...hmmm. No one considered when you marry so does everything, including finances. These happy, young couples needed a little education when it came to financial discussion. Although, I love my business it amazes me to hear no one ever touch upon finances.

Love doesn't pay the bills

What about that first argument about overdrawing the account? How about when one spouse goes outside the budget? Catch these arguments before they begin. I know going forward it will be my destiny to discuss finances with premarital couples before you say "I do".

I now look forward to the wedding season to give insight on marital financial success.
