You’re in love, maybe you’re engaged to be married, and you know everything about your betrothed. Or do you? Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon to see couples seeking to divorce because of issues that could have been discovered, discussed — and oftentimes resolved — before they ever walked down the aisle.
So, don’t assume — ask. Reviewing important financial and personal questions with your intended spouse now could prevent surprises and strife later. Rocket Lawyer suggests these Questions to Ask Before Getting Married:
Having a complete understanding of your future partner’s financial affairs is absolutely essential. Asking isn’t prying. Marriage is a legal contract, so you ought to know for your own well-being — and share this information about yourself.
You know their favorite foods, their wildest dreams, and their deepest fears — but there are some topics people are reluctant to broach, even with those they love the most. So be sure to ask these questions and be prepared to answer them as well.
Many of these are difficult topics to discuss, we know. But trusting each other enough to talk honestly is a great way to strengthen the relationship. It’s also possible that what you find out may give you pause. By contrast, discovering (or revealing) key facts after the wedding could lead to feelings of hurt and distrust — and leave you financially vulnerable, too.
