When should I begin discussing financial responsibilities and expectations of each other with the girl I'm engaged to marry?
It could be a little awkward and I'm not sure how she will react. In Responsibility Asked by Goodscout Age : 31 3 Answers

You should start asap - you and she will need to be on the same page of the hymnal about this stuff. Your financial partnership MUST be transparent and trusting. And it's important for you to have a plan for making financial decisions once you're married. What, for instance, are your financial goals as a married couple - long range and short term. How will you achieve those goals; what kind of budget will you have as a couple; etc. It wouldn't be a bad idea to meet with a financial planner to get some professional help on setting financial goals and meeting them. Don't assume anything! Answered by S.A.CablesAge : 61 1 month ago Edit Delete

By all means talk about it before getting married. In fact talk about all expectations. Both of your's. Life is difficult enough, you don't need any big surprises. My wife and I were brutally honest about our expectations (in a positive and nice way)prior to getting married. It has been 12 years. If one can ever say never...we "never" fight and an arguement is extremely rare. A few in 12 years. That is the complete opposite of my first marriage where we didn't discus any expectations before getting married. Fought "all" the time and ultimately divorced.

If you are engaged the subject should have been discussed already.you can't wait until you are married.These are some of the issues that can lead to a broken marriage.you should not go into marriage without finances and responsiblility being discussed and fully understood.I suggest you both get pre marital counselling. good luck!
