Well the day of love is Monday and we've already discussed a bit about the engagement ring and who should pick it out. Now comes the other issue that ALL couples fight about, money. I bet even Bill and Melinda Gates argue about money sometimes. Arguing , not good, discussing and understanding the financial situation you're in or about to be in, really good. I feel so Oprah offering such wonderful advice. I was fortunate, my bride is financial wizard. I am more like a financial scarecrow! But still even though my knowledge of investing and money management pales in comparison to my wife's still I need to know where our hard earned money is going and what our plans are for paying for college. How do I know this? Jill has told me this sometimes very loudly,  hence no bass boat or Saints season tickets!

arguments about money can create a relationship rift. To avoid these problems, it’s important to get on the same page with your spouse, take inventory, and plan ahead

All kidding aside, money matters matter sometimes as much as all the love and affection you have for each other. Respect each others opinion and plan together for a future that will see you smiling and holding hands all the way to forever.
