For Richer or For Poorer -- Till Debt Do Us Part

Best-selling author/personal finance expert preps engaged couples for financial success.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) November 13, 2007 -- For most couples headed to the altar, their focus is on The Big Day. They've got the outfits, the attendants, the cake and all the other details carefully budgeted and selected. But far too many times, they've failed to plan out their finances any further into the future.

Statistics show that more than half of newlyweds end up in divorce court. The top reason is money, the second most common divider is a lack of communication. Best-selling author, counselor and personal finance expert Taffy Wagner has developed a plan to improve both for brides and grooms.

Based on her successful Stair Step method for reducing debt, The Debt Stops at the Altar™ is an education package that prepares couples for the realities of joint financial planning. Part couples' counseling and part basic finances, the audio course and books gives future husbands and wives the tools they need for financial success.

"Money is such a loaded topic for us all, but especially for people starting a new life together who have so many other things to coordinate," Wagner said. "This package can prevent future financial and personal stress because it gets couples talking and planning before issues arise. When a new couple hits a hurdle, they'll know how to get over it together."

In addition to actual five hours of instruction time, couples who take part in the program can take advantage of an extra six months of free email financial coaching from Wagner to supplement what they've learned. It's all part of Wagner's commitment to fostering a strong, loving connection between new life partners.

"This really is a cornerstone of a strong marriage, one that shouldn't get lost in the excitement of planning a wedding," she said. "Being on the same page financially, being able to talk to each other about money and how it affects the marriage will help set these couples on the path to happily ever after."

Wagner says, "The Debt Stops At the Altar™ is a unique gift that keeps on giving for a lifetime." It is a tool to prevent financial stress and strain on the marriage. The Debt Stops At The Altar™ makes a great gift for any engaged couples, bride and groom, or newlyweds. The Debt Stops At The Altar™ gift package was given as a prize at Your Wedding TV's Fall Fantasy Bridal Show to one lucky bride on November 11, 2007 in Denver, Colorado.
