Couples should discuss finances early in their relationship, ideally before becoming serious, to build trust and understand each other’s financial habits and goals. The TD 2026 Love & Money Survey found that 49% of respondents sometimes or often felt uncomfortable discussing finances with a partner, but open conversations can help couples plan for future decisions together. Couples should discuss debt, budgeting, and shared expenses, and define what financial security means to each partner.
