I'm a newlywed, but when I met my husband, we were not on the same financial page at all. He was living in the inner city, in an apartment with broken windows, nothing on the walls, donated furniture from a hospital. He was making a decent living, and probably living on a third of it. I am no spendthrift, but I had some student loans, lived with a roommate in a convenient and much safer area, went out fairly often, no serious savings plan. I think we've learned a lot from each other. His family is coming to visit this weekend on our dime. But I paid off my student loans early and have tried to implement more frugal techniques in our household. Sometimes it seems that people don't make as much accommodation for other people's opinions as they should. It is "personal" finance. There is room for disagreement and discussion. You can learn a lot by understanding why the other person feels the way they do. In fact, for personal finance types, living well is the ultimate form of diversification : ) Nice post.
