A lack of financial planning is the common cause of marriage dissolution. Considering financial matters is an overriding factor when it comes to getting married. Both individuals in a relationship should be financially stable and secure to begin their married life. An open discussion about debts, income, loans, and investments is important to avoid conflict and misunderstanding.
