Ron: Should dating and engaged couples talk about money?

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: Okay, imagine a couple and they’ve been dating a while. She thinks he’s going to pop the question. He says, “When I look into your eyes all I can see is our futures merging together.” She says, “Yessss…” “So I was wondering, would you…” (“Yesss”) “Would you outline all of your debts and assets, show me your credit report, and sign this prenuptial agreement?”

Ohhh, man, that hurts. What a way to spoil an evening. And yet, at some point, dating couples—especially dating single parents—need to explore these issues. Well, online we’ve got a free list of questions to get you started. For FamilyLife Blended®, I’m Ron Deal.
