Otherwise, you\u2019ll start lying to each other,\u201d said a friend, married for 30-plus years. Her advice remains the best financial tip we received before marriage. All our divorced friends said we should have separate bank accounts, and all our friends together for decades said joint. As soon as we returned from our honeymoon, we merged our accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finances remain one of the top arguments in marriage. Developing a budget and controlling your money instead of letting it control you leads to fewer fights and a stronger marriage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t let money cause division in your marriage.
