Money touches every part of our lives. As a Certified Financial Planner™ practitioner I know that money is a much bigger part of our lives than most people acknowledge, or than most couples take time to discuss. Yet money differences and the viewpoints about how the family money should be handled is often stated as one of the top reasons for couples fighting and marriages failing.

You should buy this book if you are concerned about how you and your new spouse will manage money together.

Do you have a child who is getting married or recently married, and would like to give the couple easy-to-follow information that can show them how to manage money together, and plan for their future?

Ask yourself, "If I had a book like this before I got married, would it have made a difference?" A recent survey shows that 43% of working households are currently underfunded for retirement plans, which means they will have to work well into their retirement instead of kicking back and relaxing as they had hoped. Did you plan early enough for your retirement?

This book will make the perfect gift for a couple starting out on their path together.
