MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Valentine's Day may be the perfect day to not only think about taking a day to do something special for your special someone, but also to think about the overall health of your relationship.

Tony Drake of Drake & Associates joined us on Wednesday, Feb. 14 to talk about some of the key financial questions that couples should take the time to discuss, as he noted that finances are one of the most common sources of stress for couples, with financial issues being one of the leading causes of divorce.

He offered tips for each phase of couples, from the early dating stages and the financial conversations that would be wise to have then, on to married couples and the issues that they should consider as they prepare for retirement.
