The key to handling money in a marriage

When it comes to money, some topics can be difficult to discuss with your partner.

And on top of that, not every household chooses to do things the same way.

So what’s key to discussing (and handling) money in a marriage?

BOTH are completely fine.

What matters most?

Both partners need to be on the same page.

This means spending habits, transparency, and open communication.

It’s not reasonable to expect to agree on everything, but you both need to be fully informed.

And if you’ve got any questions on how to combine finances after getting married, or changing how you handle money, feel free to contact Paceline.
