Marriage Financial Advocate Announces Talk Before You Walk Seminar

Feb. 27, 2009 - PRLog -- Certified Educator in Personal Finances, Dr. Taffy Wagner is a marriage and finances advocate for couples whether engaged, newlywed or married for quite some time. She says, “Money has been a “taboo” subject long enough.” Not discussing money has lead to bankruptcy, mismanagement of funds, debt, overspending and also divorce.

Reports have stated that money is one of the top reasons for divorce, as well as communication. No longer will a bride-to-be and groom have to walk down the aisle with rose colored glasses on. Wagner believes many have only looked at the outside package without asking the hard questions. Yet, when they discover the truth about their spouse’s finances, they become upset and some want a divorce.

In an effort to assist couples, Wagner is announcing her “Talk Before You Walk” seminar. She will be answering the tough questions such as we just became engaged, when do we talk about finances, if my groom has debt - does that also become my debt once we are married, if we have debt should we have a big wedding and much more.

Wagner states, “Money is a subject that most people feel embarrassed to admit they have made mistakes. Furthermore, brides and grooms might feel if they open up about their finances before the wedding, the other person will call the wedding off.” As a marriage and finances advocate that have attended bridal shows and marriage conferences, Wagner has heard from brides-to-be they did not receive financial guidance when they had premarital counseling and this was an area of concern for them.

Wagner says, “It’s time to take the “taboo” out of money and the “fear” of not talking to your mate”. The first Talk Before You Walk teleseminar is being held on March 5, 2009 and interested people can attend from the comfort and privacy of their own home. For those that believe they did not receive enough guidance on finances during their premarital counseling or course, you can rest easy by participating in this seminar.
