Hot off the presses of "The Obvious Times" is this ... couples are saying that one of the keys to making marriage work is chipping in with chores, and working together. It's great to hear that joes and jills have their priorities in line like that, but it doesn't take a mountain of research and surveys to know that you need to get on the same page to make a marriage click.

If you get married and ain't ready to work together, you're not tying the knot ... it's more like the noose. When you both agree on how to spend and save money, and make a budget, and pay off debt, and all that other good stuff, then you're ready to knock the marriage ball out of the park. Make it happen, jack.
