Let your hubby know that you are interested in learning about the finances of your household and that you'd like to know what to do in the event something horrible did happen? Help him to understand why you're so concerned. Don't just make it seem like you don't trust that he'll take care of you because that's most likely why he's so defensive. But if you ask him to teach you how, because you're truly wanting to learn from him, then he might not be so defensive. Best advice ever... Pray about it. GOD's the best teacher, consoler, and confidant. Love ya, LYNNE (USA) D, Hey girl, Be honest with your feelings to him.

I have talked to my husband and he just tells me if something happens to him, to contact his job for insurance information. I don't know the house payment, bills or anything. He had this house before we got married a little over a year ago in 2007, so who is the beneficiary, me because we are married, or whoever he put down when he bought house? I have my own checking account and he has his. So, my concern is that if something were to happen to him, such as a hospital stay, coma or something where he can't make decisions, what do I do? My name is not on any of his accounts. I would not be able to make the house payment, pay the light bill or or anything. I don't work, so it's not like I have the means to take care of business. I don't even know who the house payment goes to. What do I do? I just can't get him to realise how important this matter is. He is about 11 years younger than me and I guess he thinks nothing can happen to him? I don't know.....any information you can provide so that i can inform him would be great. thanks.
