WHAT IS OBLIGATION?

An obligation is the responsibility of a
party to meet the terms of a contract
or agreement. If an obligation is not
met, the legal system often provides
recourse for the injured party.

The responsibilities
of married couple

• in marriage, each spouse needs to have a role that is

recognized and valued with certain responsibilities to which
he or she is held accountable. Take time to delegate
responsibilities, deciding which spouse will take ownership
over specific tasks, areas of the home, decisions, etc.
Delegating responsibilities is a process whereby both the
husband and wife mutually agree on assigning the
responsibility for each task.

A clear assignment of responsibilities reduces the
opportunity for conflict, such as when trash day
comes around or a bill is due. Defining
responsibilities also allows you to form healthy
boundaries in your marriage. Think of it this way:
“Boundaries help determine who is responsible for
what. If you understand who owns [is responsible
for] what, you then know who must take
responsibility for it.

-When your spouse meets with your financial
advisor, make sure to attend those meetings, if
you aren’t already, and play an active role in
the meetings. Ask questions about anything you
don’t understand and make sure your opinions
are being heard

a)the initial cost of marriage

b)the marriage allowances

Conclusion:
Overall, the conclusion of these topic is the insurance
is a large investment and you will most likely purchase
multiple policies throughout your lifetime. It is
essential that you know what each type of insurance
covers and how it works so you can make the best
decision about what to buy. Do not base your decision on
just what is cheapest, but look at what it provides.
Marriage can affect every aspect of your financial life.
Sit down as a couple to learn more about each of your
present financial situations and future goals and then
talk to an attorney. Consider keeping most assets and
property separate to minimize complications,
especially when you have heirs.
