Source: L.A. Times - Business | 14 Feb 2010 | 1:00 am Love me, love my credit scoreFull financial disclosure before walking down the aisle can help prevent marital strife later.It's Valentine's Day, when even reasonable people wander around, engagement rings at the ready, blathering about how "love is the answer." ¶ Snap out of it! Love, in fact, may be the problem. ¶ Passion often blinds sweethearts to the fact that matrimony is, at bottom, a contract. Figuring out how that partnership can prosper is critical for a successful union. Yet financial differences rank among the greatest sources of marital misery, in part because talking about money before you tie the knot makes many couples uncomfortable. ¶ Some worry that prying into each other's finances might indicate a lack of trust, or that a prenuptial agreement is a self-fulfilling prophecy for splitting up. ¶ In fact, experts say, just the opposite is true. Spouses who find themselves bickering about finances early in their marriage could well end up hashing out the same issues in divorce court, according to Tina Tessina, a licensed psychotherapist and author of "Money, Sex & Kids: Stop Fighting About the Three Things That Can Ruin Your Marriage." ¶ "Everybody wants to focus on putting the wedding together and talk about things like having kids and a house," Tessina said. "But nobody wants to talk about the money part until you are married and financially entwined. Then it's too late."
