Of course, we are all familiar with the infancy stage of marriage - - the famous "honeymoon period" -- but what happens after that? Is it possible that mar- riage has its equivalent of the "terrible 2s" or the stormy teenage years? In fact, it does. Stage 1: Magnetic Attraction. You discover you have fallen in love with the most amazing person on the plan- et. You spend hours talking about your dreams and goals. Other than day-to- day spending, money doesn't come up. Of course, it won't be a problem. By getting married, you will effectively double your income while your expenses drop by half. Stage 2: Reality's Rude Awaken- ing. Sometime after the honeymoon, you suddenly realize that marriage is complicated and that your partner is, shall we say, less than perfect. This brings times of great doubt and frus- tration, not to mention arguments about money. You can hardly run to your parents for help, so more credit seems like the answer. Stage 3: I Love You; Now Change! Once the shock wears off, one partner vows to take action to bring the other partner around to the "right way." Blame, hurt and resentment follow. While attempting to "fix" your mar- riage, you and your spouse make long-term decisions -- about career, buying a house, having children. Expenses sharply increase, faster than earning power. Pressure fuels argu- ments about money and debt. Your marriage might not survive the strain. More than half of couples that eventually divorce do so before their seventh anniversaries. Stage 4: Surrender and Acceptance. If you and your spouse stick together no matter what, after 15 or 20 years your marriage will reach this stage. Tired of conflict, you come to accept the fact that you and your mate never will see eye to eye on certain things. By now, you may be helping your kids through college and at the same time caring for elderly parents. An undertone of regret mixed with panic best describes your financial sit- uation. Stage 5: Peace, Harmony and Romantic Love. After hanging on through all the seasons of marriage, you discover that the amazing person you fell in love with way back when is the same person you've been living with all these years. But now your marriage is more mature, with a sense of caring strengthened by endurance and commitment over time. It's not unusual for couples to be married for 30 years or longer before they make it to this stage. The smart ones arrive with a sense of deep satisfaction, an emotional connection and financial security. I have good news for cou- Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate ples at every stage of mar- riage. Any couple can get to Stage 5 now, without having to wait 30 years -- or even two. For the price of hard work, honesty and a willing- ness to compromise, couples can reclaim the joy and plea- sure of Stage 1 and find financial harmony along the way!
