Do you counsel your Soldiers before they get married and if so, what topics do you cover?

The one thing I always ask my junior marines when they tell me they want to get married is "Do you trust her with complete access to all your bank accounts?"  If they answer no I tell them that they do not trust them enough to get married at this point in time.  I know this isn't a fail safe but it makes them look at their situation from a different perspective and hopefully helps them make a more informed choice.  If they still end up getting married I ensure that htey understand all the financial aspects and what they need to do to take care of their spouse and where to find any help necessary.

DEERS, benefits, rights that she will have (to your retirement if it comes to that), also, I cover that they are responsible for the actions of their dependents on post. I have seen soldiers get kicked out of housing in 30days for something a family member did.
