Loving your wife

I’m Miriam Neff,  and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, with Wise Women Managing Money

M  My friend has a dilemma.  A couple he cares about does not have their finances in order.  They have great wealth:  here, there, this drawer, that stock, this fund, that investment.  Husband doesn’t have a list.  Nothing is in a safety deposit box.  And his wife knows little about their finances. 

My friend can’t get him to even make a consolidated list. 

V  I suggest he ask his friend, “Do you love your wife? Then devote yourself to document, and organize for her sake.  Include her in the process because otherwise you will leave her alone and scared doing it.” 

In 8 of 10 marriages, the husband will depart this planet before his wife.

Do you love her?  Then inform, protect, and provide her with information.
