For some, a June wedding is the pinnacle of dreams for much of a lifetime, or if nothing else, a goal, as Shakespeare said, “devoutly to be wished.” But before those ‘I do’s go back and forth, there may be some issues worth considering as new reports suggest that financial and technological secrets involved in matrimony may hurt in the end.

The reports in question came from LifeLock, made popular by the advertisements in which Todd Davis (News - Alert) drives what looks like a delivery truck with his Social Security number printed on the side. The LifeLock Relationship Survey, which was conducted in April and drew from a pool of over 2,000 United States residents at least 18 years old, revealed some very telling things about how much people were willing to keep secret...and how much those people weren't willing to keep secret.

For instance, the survey detailed that young men—those aged 18-34—are the most likely to keep secrets about credit issues. The group second most likely to keep secrets about credit, interestingly, is women in the next age bracket up, 35-44. The survey also found that, while nearly 40 million Americans were both married and owned a smartphone, that handing over the passwords to said smartphone was not expressly necessary in order to share a full and fulfilling life together. However, in the case of males aged 18-34, sharing passwords among friends would be more likely to happen than it would in any other bracket.

As for identity theft, fully 71 percent of those who either were or may be victims of the crime would tell their spouse or significant other, and slightly more—72 percent—would tell law enforcement officials. But that's still a fairly substantial number who would tell neither, a development which can lead to further problems in a relationship. Clearly, this is a number that needs to be increased somehow, because identity theft is too big a problem to simply be allowed to go on uncontested. Of course, some may think that notifying the police isn't necessary as long as the victim's bank is notified and credit cards are canceled and the like, though since there are other issues involved, it would seem like the best and most prudent route to notify police when such an issue emerges.

It's clear that there are a lot of individual issues that need to be worked out before committing to share a life with another person. After all, there was quite a bit that went into each life before it was offered to share it, which means there may well have been some less than pleasant things that went on in said life. Getting those issues ironed out before the wedding will increase the likelihood of a long and pleasant union together, and will make that wedding day all the happier for the resolution.
