Amanda Clayman discusses the top financial considerations before getting married. This video covers personal and practical steps for engaged couples. Learn to review your communication. Begin viewing your finances as another area to build intimacy. Talk about what is meaningful to you rather than what you think is the right way. You can't have your way all the time, so learn to compromise.
- Think you've found the one?…Congratulations, the decision to get married…is one you make with your heart to be sure,…but it's also one with a lot of financial considerations.…We've all heard the statistics about how money…is the most common source of conflict in couples.…In this video, we'll discuss both the personal…and the practical steps that will help…you and your partner make money a source of bliss,…not bickering.…First, look at your communication.…A recent poll by the National Foundation…for Credit Counseling revealed that 2/3 of engaged couples…had negative attitudes about discussing money…with their soon to be spouse.…
Money brings up a lot of feelings,…fear, vulnerability, shame,…that can be challenging in a relationship.…We need to see finances as another area to build intimacy,…not exert control.…I find it helps when couples focus on three things.…Talk about what's important to you…as opposed to what you think is the right way.…When you say your way is right,…the not so subtle subtext…is that your partner's point of view is wrong.…
