Talk about money while dating to protect your marriage from trouble

A few weeks ago, I found myself a reluctant guest in a bridal-advice session. My issue with the session is that it was mainly made up matronly ladies whose advice did not seem to make sense for this day and age. Some told the bride that the way to keep her marriage going is to ensure her hubby eats her cooking daily - based on the bride’s nails I do not think that will happen.

Others told her to overlook all her hubby’s misdeeds; everything from leaving the toilet seat up to well, those occasional flings. The rest of the advice will be a topic for another day. What stuck with me was that the issue of money never came up, - one would think that would be topic No.1 in this day and age.
