As newlyweds, you’ve already tackled the task of planning the wedding — now it’s time to plan the rest of your life. Whether that means planning for having a family, moving across the country, or creating and checking off a bucket list, this is the perfect time to! Planning everything from the good to the sometimes bad will control any situation that’s put in front of you and your partner’s path.
Asking the hard questions about finances and the end of life can be rather difficult, but it can help you grow a stronger connection. Not only does this uncover what you and your partner are grateful for, it also uncovers both your wants and needs if things were to even turn south.
With that being said, Bestow created printables to make this conversation a fun and bonding activity with printables. These printables cover all the important topics to make sure your family and belongings are taken care of. As this conversation isn’t like planning an exciting vacation, we included a gratitude printable to point out what you and your partner are grateful for.
Plan for the Good and the Bad
Whether you are wanting to stay in and snuggle up in blankets or go out to a nice dinner to have these conversations, this can help show your love and appreciation for each other. Check-in with each other periodically and review your plans as changes may be made throughout the process.
