A couple soon to be married is seeking advice on managing their finances. The fiancée has expressed that she wants her partner to manage the money and make all the financial decisions. However, the partner believes that married couples should make decisions together.

Importance of Togetherness in Finances

Dave Ramsey, a personal finance expert, suggests that the partner should explain to his fiancée how important the concept of togetherness is to him, especially when it comes to finances. He believes that good, open communication is vital in any relationship and that sharing financial goals and dreams, along with doing a monthly budget together, will be a wonderful sharing experience for the couple.

Ramsey also notes that many marriage counselors agree that if a couple comes to an agreement on four major issues before the wedding, they will have a greater chance of forming a successful and lasting marriage. These issues include money, kids, in-laws, and religion.
