One of the simplest mistakes that young couple make when they begin to plan for marriage is in the area of finances!

I know many couples who use the "My Money / Their Money" model of home finance. She pays her part of the bills with her paycheck and he pays his part of the bills with his money. The problem with this model is that from the beginning divisions are being made. When you draw a line in the sand when it comes to money it is a lot easier to draw a line on other things that would not normally be an issue.
