Have you ever asked yourself why you want to get married (with the subtext being, if nothing really changes anyway)?In 2019 according to the Pew Research centre:“The decision to get married is a personal one, but for most married adults, love and companionship trump other considerations such as such as the desire to have children someday, convenience or finances.”But there are some other legal aspects to consider too, including in Australia: that marriage revokes a will unless it was created ‘in contemplation of marriage’, marriage spouses automatically become each other's next of kin, income tax changes, and there could be changes in future property settlements, survivor benefits, health insurance payments and claims, custody of children, maintenance payments and even inheritance.But you want to know, when you wake up the day after your wedding, what happens then?Dating and Relationship coach, Beck Thompson, from The Relationship Circle is going to teach you:The changes couples experience once they get marriedWhy you need to work out and talk about your (sometimes) unconscious expectationsHow to start the discussion about traditional or gender roles and responsibilities, andUnderstanding the significance of changing your last name after you get married. Resources Mentioned:The Relationship Circle: https://www.therelationshipcircle.com/The Relationship Circle Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2220575The Relationship Circle on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_relationship_circle/The Pew Research Centre: https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2019/11/06/why-people-get-married-or-move-in-with-a-partner/Marriage and your will: https://tetlowlegal.com.au/marriage-changes/What changes when we marry: https://www.celebrants.org.au/information/everyone/types-of-ceremonies/marriage-ceremonies/what-changes-when-we-marrySend Unbridely a 90-second audio message on Speakpipe: https://www.speakpipe.com/unbridelypodcast*The Unbridely Podcast is sponsored by its listeners.
