The biggest stress in marriage is financial. Debt is a heavy burden to work on together, especially when jobs have been lost and finances are down to almost nothing. When you become married there are going to be a whole bunch of things thrown at you. Get your financial lives in order before standing in front of the Minister to say "I Do". The top heavy duty issues marriages have are:

Infidelity, sexual differences, values and beliefs, life stages, traumatic situations, stress, boredom, jealousy, trying to change each other, communication problems, lack of attention, financial issues, lack of appreciation, technology and social media, trust issues, selfish behavior, anger issues, keeping score, lying, unrealistic expectations. My fingers are tired just typing all these issues. That is a whole bucket load of problems that can pop up. Get your finances in order before marriage because you have a whole bunch more issues on a list. Get your finances in order and have a plan to resolve the financial issues before marriage and you will be better off. Address the financial baggage so it doesn't become a burden on the marriage.
