Some say love is blind, I agree. It can completely blind you to never take into consideration the financial situation of the one you love before saying “I do”. You might think if you love the person you should accept them with all their flaws. Well beware if your partner is not as good as managing their money or does not have a decent credit score. You could be setting yourself for financial turmoil in the relationship.
Before taking the leap into marriage lay all your cards on the table. Make sure if one of you is in debt you either take care of the situation before entering into marriage or make some sort of plan on how to handle that debt. I’ve got to admit this never crossed my mind as a potential deal braker but the more I think about it, I don’t want to start my married life paying off someone elses debt.
