When your friend ask you about marriage advice?
First are they getting married or are they breaking up.This is a difficult question to ask him or her and have you ever known a couple that has been divorced? Now ask them if they have talked about having a joint or separate bank account. What I have found is that a couple that gets divorced usually has separate bank accounts. One person in the relationship is being more selfish than the other. What happens is that with separate bank accounts the relationship becomes a rivalry from the beginning. I bought this with my money. I paid for my trip to go with my friends; this is mine I paid for it.Now if they have had a joint bank account when the marriage started, the conversations that they should have will be. What are we going to save for? What are we going to buy? What are we going to achieve together? It is all about us.Now if a couple wants to have separate bank accounts this will work also because each one wants to put them self first in the relationship and they would have had this conversation already. This is a very big topic for people to talk about before getting together and into a relationship.
