During a couple’s marriage, financial decisions and planning can play a significant role in maintaining a harmonious relationship. When planning for the future, it can be beneficial for spouses to consider what might happen if their marriage were to end. Since a potential divorce could completely upend a family’s financial situation, making decisions about how various issues will be handled ahead of time can provide both spouses with assurance that they will be able to meet their needs.
