Q is for Question the Financial Fidelity in your Marriage

Sharing is not always caring. Living with your spouse means sharing everything, money included. Unfortunately when it comes to financial matters things can get murky. It can be difficult to let someone into that part of your life because we view money as such a personal thing. But knowing about the financial fidelity or infidelity of your relationship can make a world of difference in both financial situations and matters of the heart.

-
Create a joint account to take care of expenses like your mortgage, groceries, utilizes, healthcare, etc.
-
Manage the joint account together creating trust and emotional bonding.

Decide together the amount of money each should contribute the joint account.

Discuss the need or possibility of creating small individual accounts should you desire.
