A spouse with heavy debt or a poor credit rating can also negatively impact your credit score as well, something else to consider... Additionally, a friend with a new wife encountered a similar situation as yours. He paid off her substantial debt, and she hasn't been seen since... The joke about seeing each other's credit report before marriage, even serious dating, is no joke. Then there is the old saying "First time for love, second time for money, do it right the first time..."

An MRS degree.


Her debt and credit will hurt ya, on the other side of the spectrum my wife had zero debt so zero credit, so that also hurt us. It's a tight rope.

Had a friend pay off his wife's med school, she bailed about a month after the last check cleared.

I love how this tactic has become acceptable in this country's legal system.

^^^While slightly crass, there's some bitter truth there, too.

While men are decried and reviled as being "not in touch with their feelings," it has not escaped my notice that I only know two men who left their wives.

But I know at least 30 women who left their husbands.

Which gender is the real "hopeless romantic?"

Definitely makes sense to wait in my opinion also. Do not assume someone else's debt just because you married them.

Over 40% of first time marriages end in divorce within 8 years, over 70% of the time filed by women.
