Marrying your partner means marrying your partner’s Money Personality. From choosing your breakfast cereal, picking destinations for Friday night dates, to deciding what “vacation” means to you, all has to do with your Money Personalities. According to “The Money Couple,” financial and relationship communication experts Bethany and Scott Palmer, becoming familiar with this part of yourselves and each other establishes the lines of financial communication that are essential for an honest, fulfilling, and long-lasting relationship. It can even make day-to-day tasks easier and less stress-ridden.

The first step toward marital and monetary bliss is to have The Talk – the discussion that will help you live happily financially ever after say Bethany and Scott, authors of First Comes Love Then Comes Money: A Couple’s Guide to Financial Communication (Harper One). And it all goes back to knowing your partner’s money personality. Is your honey a:

• Saver – These penny pinchers hate parting with money. If they found a dollar in a coat pocket they’d leave it there rather than spend it.
• Spender – Money doesn’t stick to a Spender for long. If he finds a dollar in his coat pocket, he heads to Starbucks to figure out what he can buy.
• Risk Taker – They aren’t afraid of risking everything in the pursuit of having everything. Entrepreneurs, inventors and trail-blazers are all risk takers.
• Security Seeker – If you have a planner in your life then you have a Security Seeker. They like locking in their future and having their ducks in a row.
• Flyer – Artistic types are often flyers; they never think about money and would rather fly by the seat of their pants.
