By the time you get engaged, it\u2019s easy to assume that you know just about everything about your spouse-to-be. While you probably know each other pretty well, there are a number of topics that don\u2019t always come up if you\u2019re not intentional about discussing them, and many of these subjects are ones that are crucial to talk about before you start wearing that gold wedding ring<\/a>. Here are four key questions to ask before you say \u201cI do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talking about how each of your families handled money can help to make each of you aware of your assumptions about money and help you ease into talking about how you want to handle it as a couple. In addition to talking about how you\u2019ll handle expenses, talk about how you want to save and if and how you want to give.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t say \u201cI do\u201d without taking the time to ask and answer each of these questions. While these conversations might not be the most exciting you\u2019ll ever have, they\u2019re some of the most important.<\/p>\n
