One of the most important issues that married couples have to be on the same page about is their finances. After all, you usually can’t live the life you hope to live together if there isn’t some money in the bank. While not everybody may agree on things like shared accounts or paying for certain things for their spouse, it is still vital to be upfront and communicative when it comes to anything financial that will affect both in a couple. Marriage is an investment, not least in the monetary sense.

However, it’s also incredibly common for those who are married to argue about money and what it should be spent on. One partner’s idea of a great buy might be seen by the other as reckless spending, for example. It means that some can get into some infuriating situations when it comes to their spouse and their money when their partner feels like they have a claim on their finances as well as their own.
