Why Couples Must Talk Money Before Tying the Knot
A discussion highlights the need for full financial disclosure between partners, especially before marriage or a prenup.
The program references Belle Burden's memoir, which warned about post-divorce financial vulnerability while noting her own family wealth. Hosts Jill Schlesinger and Mark stress that openness about assets is essential for healthy relationships. They also advise couples to consider financial implications before signing a prenup and to discuss major purchases like a larger home, as illustrated by a caller named Megan.
