Few women who marry plan on being widowed or divorced. Yet even modern women too often cede control of finances to their husband. This leaves them uninformed and unprepared to manage on their own in case their marriage ends.
How unfortunate that couples will seek pre-marital counseling for sex, religion, parenting or conflict resolution, but few seek out information about marital finances.
Get involved in the finances before you marry. Don’t wait till after the honeymoon; don’t wait ten years before you understand what you need to know. Otherwise, when you finally do decide to get involved, you might hear the conversation stopper “Don’t you trust me?”
