We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but financial incompatibility is one of the most common reasons for divorce.

Think rent, entertainment, housing loans, groceries, and expanding the family. It might sound cheesy, but once you\u2019ve said \u201cI do\u201d at the altar, you\u2019re operating as one entity. And if you\u2019re both uncertain about what steps to take together, that\u2019s a recipe for disaster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour partner might like to dine out on weekends, while you prefer to stay home. To prevent future arguments due to differences in expectations, it\u2019s important to understand each other\u2019s spending habits. Even with the wedding \u2013 the last thing you want is to be engaged and find out that you&#8217;re expected to pay for the whole ceremony yourself,\u201d says Jarrod Wong, senior financial planner at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tallrockcapital.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">TallRock Capital<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOr, imagine if something happens to you. Your partner will have to take on the financial burden of paying for your medical and utility bills. When you align on financial protection, expenditure and goals, you get a better understanding of your current and future liabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The worst part about disagreeing on money issues? The opportunity for financial infidelity to creep in. This means you or your partner hiding spending habits from each other to avoid trouble.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis can include syphoning money from joint accounts, lying about income or debt, lending large amounts of money without consent, or keeping bank accounts or credit cards secret,\u201d says Antonia Basile Wilson, divorce consultant and founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/allieddivorceconsultancy.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Allied Divorce Consultancy<\/a>.

Fret not! Relationship and financial experts tell us there\u2019s no hard and fast rule when you should bring up such matters. However, earlier is always better \u2013 especially when both of you are committed.<\/p>\n<p>Relationships are all about sussing out how you complement each other, after all. You\u2019re typically looking for someone who can work with you towards emotional and financial stability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAssuming you\u2019ve determined you\u2019re compatible; now is the time to make conscious agreements about the functional aspects of your life together. This includes things like how you\u2019ll split the bill (if at all), and how you&#8217;ll pay for holidays and household expenses. If you haven\u2019t discussed this, and you\u2019re about to get married, you can no longer avoid working it out,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/happyeverafter.asia\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Valentina Tudose<\/a>, a dating and relationship expert.<\/p>\n<p>Talking about finances early speaks well for the health of your relationship, as it demonstrates effective communication. \u201cThe more proactive and comfortable a couple is in having open, honest and non-judgemental conversations on finances, the better off they&#8217;ll be in the long run,\u201d Antonia says. \u201cStarting financial conversations early will take away the intensity and nerves about any serious talks later.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>So, how do you start the conversation?<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_256930\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-256930\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-256930 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/financial-questions-to-ask-before-marriage-priscilla-du-preez-via-unsplash-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"financial questions to ask before marriage | priscilla du preez via unsplash\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/financial-questions-to-ask-before-marriage-priscilla-du-preez-via-unsplash-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/financial-questions-to-ask-before-marriage-priscilla-du-preez-via-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/financial-questions-to-ask-before-marriage-priscilla-du-preez-via-unsplash-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/financial-questions-to-ask-before-marriage-priscilla-du-preez-via-unsplash-1536x1097.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/financial-questions-to-ask-before-marriage-priscilla-du-preez-via-unsplash-2048x1463.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-256930\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Priscilla Du Preez via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Before pulling them in for a chat, it\u2019s important to analyse how your upbringings differ. Understanding how the value of money looks different for each person can help you approach the conversation with empathy and patience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor someone who grew up in an affluent family where money was never an issue, it can represent fun and nothing more than a means to enjoy life with,\u201d Valentina says. \u201cOn the other hand, someone who was deprived of luxuries growing up may equate money with survival, safety and stability. Or feel like it\u2019s a way of proving they&#8217;ve made it in life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve determined where you both stand, you&#8217;re better equipped to handle the conversation. This is where you can discuss short and long-term financial goals, share any worries or frustrations and set a date to frequently check in on money matters.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to try and create a loving and safe environment so that money won&#8217;t be a scary issue in your relationship. This will empower you to work towards common and individual financial goals together.<\/p>\n<h3>Bookmark this list of questions to ask before marriage<\/h3>\n<p>Need some help to get the ball rolling?
