3 - Spouse had no idea about the debt in the first place

Relationship experts say it's imperative to share any financial stress, saying "three decades of research on marriage tells us this — the number one cause of marital discourse and dysfunction is related to financial distress! There are no if's, and's, or but's, about that!"
