Set aside some time, call a meeting, go for a walk, book it on the calendar and make it happen.

It's not always easy to ask the questions, but the couples that have these conversations up front are the ones who are successful in the long run.

I asked my fiancee for us to have a financial planning meeting. We set a time and we went into our office and had a great discussion about our goals, our spending habits etc.
