After reading the comments posted here ,I realized that I should have also posted a disclosure. -This does not apply to arranged marriages. -This applies only to couples who are equal in paychecks,educational background and professional career. -This also applies to couples living together or plan to live together before getting married which is normal here in USA. -And last, but not the least, A GOOD COMMUNICATION IS BEST REMEDY FOR GREAT MARRIAGES so better do it now than later infront of the lawyer,judge and kids. P.S -Captain, I wrote I took this article from NY Times.
