Over the weekend, I spoke with WTOP in Washington about six money talks to have before you walk down the aisle. Hot topics include who will manage bill paying, whether to have separate or joint accounts, and long-term financial goals.

That is why I need to pray before getting married. Have godly thoughts about money and children issues. Adam and eve did not discuss money,neither did abraham and sarah,nor isaac and rebeca. Someone who is flying with good credit and good job can suddenly have a dive. Two of you should pray about every situation and find solution. Marriage is an ungoing ups and downs of life. You can talk about money but learn to love beyond money.I have found out that a bottle of coke in a lovely environment is worth more than millions. Because we respond to money differently,we should start ahead of time in the marriage cutting out coat according to our size and there would be no communication break down. The talk about kids? You can only say,If God gives us we will have...... Not every one who wish to have kids, have them.. Think prayerfully. God bless you.

This is a great interview. Talking about the money in a preventative fashion and begin becoming solution oriented.
