In India, getting married is a big step in our personal lives. It is a major event of our lives that changes our ways of living completely. It poses a major impact on the way we handle our finances.
But, most of the time finance is a subject that remains out of our scope of discussion. But what we need to understand is that it is not only a monetary aspect, but also an emotional aspect. Both of the partners owe each other openness and honesty about their finances.
As you get married, you and your spouse will be financially responsible for each other and to each other. After you are married, discuss your finances because there are chances that there are differences in your opinions as you and your spouse come from different financial backgrounds. Out of you both, one of your family may have been more affluent, one of you may be more inclined to use credit cards or one of you have better financial management skills. One may be very interested in financial matters and the other may not care as long as there is money in the bank to pay the bills.
