Basically, these clients are not on the same page as their spouse
financially, and it can end up a deal breaker. For example, one may be a
spender and the other a saver. The spender is interested in funding their
lifestyle, and the saver is worried about their future. There are many
reasons this happens, for example my ex-husband's Dad died very young, and so
he tends to live in the moment with his spending habits. Another reason
may be that the saver doesn't want to end up in the same financial position as
their parents, or that there was a lack of financial education while the
spender was growing up. The "She'll be right" attitude gone
wrong.
Having this conversation is hardly romantic, but you will save yourself a lot of pain if you have it before you cohabitate. The goal is to know where each of you stand as an individual, before joint finances become an issue. From these individual goals you can form an idea of what your couple goals are, and whether they are acceptable to each individual. The key is to effectively communicate why the individual goals are important, so that they can be assessed at a couple level and you both have the opportunity to articulate what it brings to the relationship.

Not having this conversation and understanding of your partner can bring
conflict when the relationship encounters stressors. A
stressor may be having children, loss of employment or even having to pass
over an opportunity due to a lack of, or hoarding of, resources. If
both individual spouses have their own agenda, it is difficult to get full commitment
to the goals of the couple.
Some moderation on your individual view of finances may be needed,
and some couples never get there, and continue to have separate financial
lives. Other couples work hard to come to a middle ground over
time. Neither option is right or wrong; use what works for you as a
couple. That way, you can get back to nagging each other about the
important things in life...like who left the toilet seat up again.
