For many young couples, wedding debts are added on top of student loans and credit card debts. It is advisable to go for couples financial counselling whether you’re still dating or already married. A 2019 study found that 82 per cent of couples argue about significant purchases, especially when one makes the purchase without discussing and clearing it with their significant other. For most people, major purchases include cars, houses and even furniture.

Ethiopia's prime minister has said his country "will not cave in to aggressions of any kind" after President Donald Trump suggested Egypt could destroy a controversial Nile dam.
