There is a bit of taboo-type thinking surrounding the idea of asking for a Prenuptial Agreement. However, even if you do not compose a formal document, you need to be able to openly talk about finances and not just the fun stuff like the idea of buying a house someday, but also the hard stuff like how much debt you have, your credit rating and financial obligations to others (like child support or elderly care). Many marital disputes arise from money issues. It is beneficial if you and your partner can willingly and rationally discuss finances before problems arise.
Your marriage may be the most important legal partnership you'll ever enter. Like business partners, you will have responsibilities, contributions, assets and debts, skills and talents, and more you are bringing to the relationship. And together your goal is to stay in business and be solvent. Solvent for both partners, whether together or not. You've already established your love and commitment to one another, the next step may be to decide how best to manage your financial future.
