I kinda get the impression that the folks are Kiplinger are a little nerdy. That said, the media they produce usually gives solid advice.
Here is one video that caught my eye. It is on the topic of things couples can do to improve their shared financial situations. Its valuable because most personal finance information for couples isn’t all that good or useful. At 2:04 its a quick watch, so give it a spin.
DINKS (Dual Income No Kids) Finance is a blog discussing personal finance for couples. While by no means financial experts, we own a variety of assets including real estate and stocks. We've been up to our eyeballs in debt and have made tons of financial mistakes. However, we've successfully retired that debt and we both do learn from our failings. We hope that our voice in this blog can help others in achieving their goals!

This information is quite helpful! I'm not married but I'm in a serious relationship and I believe that if I have the knowledge before the next step of our relationship comes then it will be a smooth transition. many couples break-up because of money and I don't want to be apart of that statistic.
It is vital to communicate with your partner regarding money. I did not realize that commingling the debt (as stated in this video) is a bad idea though because it cane affect the credit scores and credit. Great advice! thanks.
