The book goes beyond the basics and helps couples plan for forever after without the stress or fighting.

And, the fact of the matter is – financial conversations are taboo for anyone getting married, and The Most Valuable Wedding Gift is an easy in to open a priceless conversation.
“Most couples, even very successful ones, often limit their pre-wedding financial discussion to whether they should combine their checking and savings accounts,” said Roderick Givens, author, The Most Valuable Wedding Gift. “That’s really not enough. Marriage is about two people building a life together, and finances play a big part in that.”
The Most Valuable Wedding Gift provides the tools to answer questions and have productive discussions about not only money, but goals, communication styles, and more. It is not designed to tell a reader what to do—it is designed to help couples arrive at their own informed conclusions and move forward. And, most importantly this book is not just for people looking to get married but provides valuable insight into finances for any couple. The following points just a few key takeaways:
• Communication—How do you communicate, not just about money, but everything?
• Decisions and behavior—Why do you do what you do? How do you make money decisions?
• Taking stock—What do you know about your assets? (Hint: It is a lot more than what is in your bank and investment accounts.)
• Where you want to go—Have you considered your goals as a partnership? What do you need to think about now that you did not have to worry about before as an individual?
• Risk vs. return—How much risk are you willing to take to reach your goals?
Bringing it all together—How do you incorporate all of these concepts into a coherent strategy?
“When you consider the financial commitment that goes into most weddings today, it makes a lot of sense to invest a little time and money to help create a solid foundation for the marriage itself.” said Roderick Givens, author, The Most Valuable Wedding Gift.
