Marriage. Most couples spend so much time planning their wedding and are filled with excitement about tying the knot. However, the wedding lasts only a few days, but your commitment is lifelong. A lot of people do not spend a good amount of time analysing what that would entail. For a commitment to last, you have to know each other’s expectations and be able to manage them. Take a look at some of the most important conversations you should be having before you get married:

FINANCES 

Couples should have a clear understanding of each other’s finances. This includes salary, debts and savings. They should also figure out each other’s spending habits. Another important conversation to have is what your expectations are in terms of contributing or not contributing towards certain expenses.
