Money Talk Before The Commitment Walk™

Bringing financial education into pre-marital counseling
By: Dr. Taffy W. Wagner
 
Oct. 15, 2008 - PRLog -- Before The Big Day, many couples head to a church seeking premarital counseling which usually covers compatibility, expectations and even conflict resolution. True enough those same couples walk down the aisle focusing on The Big Day. They’ve got the bridal gown, tuxedos, the attendants, the cake and all the other details carefully budgeted and selected. But far too many times, they’ve failed to plan out their finances beyond the wedding day.

Statistics show more than half of the newlyweds end up in divorce court. The top reason is money and the second most common divider is a lack of communication. Many couples will attend pre-marital counseling, yet walk away uncomfortable in the area of finances.

Best-selling author, counselor and certified educator in personal finances, Taffy Wagner has developed a plan to aid any premarital counselor or pastor that provides premarital counseling. This personal finances program improves communication and finances both for engaged couples and newylweds. The Debt Stops at the Altar™ and Money Talk Before The Commitment Walk™ is an education package that prepares couples for openly discussing money as individuals and as couples. The audio course and downloadable instruction guide gives future husbands and wives the tools they need for financial success throughout their marriage. Wagner states, “Several brides have shared they did not receive a financial component in their premarital counseling and felt that is what they lacked.”

“Money is such a loaded topic for us all, but especially for people starting a new life together who have so many other things to coordinate,” Wagner said. “This package can prevent future financial and personal stress because it gets couples talking and planning before issues arise. When a new couple hits a hurdle, they’ll know how to get over it together.”

Couples who take part in the program receive actually five hours of audio teaching and a downloadable training guide that teaches them how to examine their individual approaches to handling money in a variety of situations. “The Debt Stops At The Altar™ and Money Talk Before The Commitment Walk™ will be an incredible help to couples. It is insightful, practical and full of financial wisdom. I highly recommend it to any couple who wishes to strengthen their marriage and be proactive about their financial fitness.” Marlo Boux, www.cleangreenwinnipeg.com

Wagner states, “This really is a cornerstone of a strong marriage, one that shouldn’t get lost in the excitement of planning a wedding,” she said. “Being on the same page financially, being able to talk to each other about money and how it affects the marriage will help set these couples on the path to happily ever after.”

Wagner says, “The Debt Stops At the Altar™ and Money Talk Before The Commitment Walk™ program is a unique gift that keeps on giving for a lifetime.” It is a preventative tool to preclude financial stress and strain on the marriage.
