Summary/Abstract: The engagement time is often called the time of the word. One of significant matters which the partners should undertake their conversations is the topic of money management in marriage. Money is one of the most important components of a family’s existence and development. It is an important attribute for defining the family’s standard of living, material affluence and social position, estimated using the “have” measure. The aim of the research is to become familiar with the engaged couple’s opinions on money management. In the research procedure, attention was paid to the following issues: the money management model preferred by the engaged couple, their attitude towards spending and saving money, knowledge of the partner’s financial obligations for credits and loans and the engaged couple’s attitude towards the prenupital agreement. The diagnostic survey method was used in the research in which 171 engaged couples took part. A questionnaire was adopted as the research method.
