Funny Money Friday: Money marriage vows

Money doesn't have to be boring! Each week, CreditBloggers.com takes a look at the lighter side of the personal finance world in a series called Funny Money Friday.

I'm off to a close friend's wedding this holiday weekend! Getting read for the "wedding of the year" has left me thinking about the important role of finances in relationships.

Since money can be a leading cause of arguments, maybe "for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer" isn't a detailed enough marriage vow. What we need is something that covers all the money challenges married couples may face. How about this vow instead:

I, (Bride/Groom), take you (Groom/Bride), to be my (wife/husband), to have and to hold joint accounts from this day forward, for saving and for spending, for 401(k)s and for mortgages, in richness and in debt, to budget and to share, from this day forward until death do us part.

Actually, that's not half bad! I know a few couples who could be helped by taking this type of solemn money management vow. I'm sure our clever readers can do better, though. Share your money vow ideas in the comments section below! Happy Friday and 4th of July weekend!
