When you and your pregnant daughter are evaluating whether the baby's father is a good candidate for marriage, the 11-page worksheet titled "Before you say 'I Do': Getting acquianted" is an excellent resource for looking at the money management aspect of the relationship. Get together with your pregnant daughter and the baby's father. Print out a copy of the worksheet for every person at the meeting. Read it outloud and do the exercises independently and then discuss each one together.
By completing this worksheet, everyone can learn about their own traits such as:
- Selfishness versus cooperation
- Pride versus humility
- Greed versus generosity
- Planner versus disorganized
- Patterns of decision making
- How you handle disagreements
- Trusting God versus independence
If your pregnant daughter and the baby's father have wildly different views of money management, this is an area that could cause massive conflict in a marriage and should be approached carefully.
