Marriage - The Financial Scoop by Federal Credit Union of Virginia Beach Schools
No one gets married by their accountant. And when love is in your eyes, opening a joint checking account is the furthest thing from your mind. But consider this - the lack of a financial plan can become a major cause of marital stress. Our advice is to open a dialogue with your partner and settle financial matters before they ever become issues. Consider these questions as a way to start the ball rolling.

Q&A With Tian Dayton Facilitated by Coaching Circles Comments (0)
Q. I am getting married in a month and am very much in love with my fiancée, but I can't help from feeling empty, even when I am with him. Am I wrong about how I am feeling about him?
We all carry emptiness inside of us. It's part of the human condition. Running from emptiness, trying to fill it with people, places and things, is one of the surest ways to guarantee that we will feel forever empty. Denying the emptiness within us only makes it grow. By acknowledging and confronting this feeling, you're opening the door to filling that empty space with what we might call spiritual energy. In twelve-step rooms we talk about a God-shaped hole, in other words an internal emptiness that only God can fill. This is an inside job. No relationship can fill that God-shaped hole and when we try to make it, we set ourselves up for disappointment and loneliness. Two whole people coming together to share this experience of life have a far better chance at a successful relationship than two half people who are trying to fill the void in themselves with the other.
Q. This is a second marriage for both my partner and me. Our union is so positive but we are both plagued by a negative past. How can we put this behind us and move on in our new lives together?
A. First of all, we don't really put negative history behind us; rather, we work slowly and methodically through how it's affected us. Then, as new insights occur, we integrate a fresh perspective on old events. It is in understanding our past that we can learn and grow. This stance includes a certain flexibility of mind and maturity of emotions that allows for living in the present. "Putting things behind us" all too often includes a willful attempt to lock a part of ourselves in an unresolved period of our personal history. It sounds good but in my experience, it doesn't really work. I'm for integration versus amputation.
