Answer 1

Answer:

The correct response is Option A: Finances are an important foundation for a successful marriage.

Explanation:

According to the University of Virginia's National Marriage Project, finances are highly important in a successful marriage.  The report also recommended changing financial roles in the marriage in terms of gender. Although it is usually men who make the longterm investment decisions in a family, the study suggests that women are more cautious and less confident in their decisions, so they are more willing to seek advice and to do research on investment decisions.

Thus rethinking the financial responsibilities in the family might help the overall financial health more longterm.
