With Valentine’s Day this weekend, it’s a great reminder to make sure you and your spouse are on the same page, financially speaking. The book Money & Marriage is designed to help you do just that. Written especially with engaged and newly married couples in mind, couples that are not so newly married will find it helpful as well.
