Let's Talk

SAGE ADVICE Talk "the talk" with your honey.

Before you and your husband-to-be say "I do," be sure to talk "logistics." 

For example ...

* Who's going to handle the finances?

* Are we going to have separate or joint bank accounts?

* What kind of budget are we going to live by?

* Where do you see yourself living long term? 

* Do you want to live near family? Or away from them?

* What kind of influence do your parents have on your life right now?

* Do you want children? When and how many?

And so on, and so forth ...

There are no right or wrong answers. Just have the discussions! You'll have a better marriage for it.
