معلومات عن هذا الكتاب الإلكتروني

This book reviews the financial past, present, and future of couples contemplating marriage, with questions and text posed to highlight critical points. The work required in this financial counseling course for couples is purposely kept to a minimum to ensure that the task will be finished. Forms that accompany the questions enable each member of a couple to complete an individual workbook. A facilitator's guide is also provided. While the simplicity of this book recommends it, the wealth of good financial information and guidance in Let's Talk About Money Before You Tie the Knot provides a solid financial foundation on which to build a marriage.
