After the honeymoon is over, couples should make a regular date to review their budget and make necessary changes. This date can take place weekly, monthly, quarterly or as often as needed for both the husband and wife to feel secure. All the details of their financial situation should be available to each person, and they should communicate openly about big purchases, extra income and savings. Seeing a financial advisor may also be in order, for couples who want more information on savings, or those who are ready to make substantial investments.
So in the midst of choosing a cake and addressing invitations, couples should make plans to get their finances in order. Then, their happily-ever-after won’t depend on the checkbook.
