James Brien, founder of Easy Online Divorce and author of The Mindful Divorce, says that while the topic may be uncomfortable for many, discussing finances is essential for healthy relationships.
Clare explains: ‘Many people are unaware that getting married can involve taking on legal liabilities your partner may have.’.
‘One partner’s debt can impact joint financial decisions and even affect credit scores if you have joint credit.’.
‘Given that money is a common cause of arguments, it’s essential to understand each other’s spending habits,’ Clare explains.
So, Clare says to make sure you agree from the outset that money and finances will always be an evolving conversation.
