So if you’re courting, engaged, married or preparing for when you get there this is the place for you!You are listening to episode 3: Engaged Putting a ring on it (or not)You found the one, you made the choice, now the preparation begins...but first you must agree on what you’re preparing for, the major event to come or the lifelong journey.I think most of us have heard some version or form of “you prepare for the marriage not the wedding” We want to share with you a few areas that should be addressed while you are in the engagement phase of your relationship.

Discuss the future: set goals as a couple-

Discuss your roles in the marriage/household. 

Family

Last but not least.... An area that is often not discussed enough (especially during wedding planning-Lol )- 

Finances:

Individual debt and any you may incur as a couple 

Spending habits

Savings

Discuss income potential/growth 

Create a wealth plan and map out where you want to be and how you will get there.
