Simultaneously, you could be weighing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/jewelry-education\/love-relationships\/benefits-of-marriage-part-1-emotional\/\">pros and cons of tying the knot<\/a> with the one you love. While finances definitely shouldn\u2019t be your biggest reason for getting married, we thought it might be interesting to look at what effect marriage can actually have on your bank account. Whether you\u2019ve just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/\">gotten engaged<\/a> or it\u2019s a long way away, these surprising benefits may just have an impact on how you think about marriage in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Better mortgage rates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If home ownership is one of your and your partner\u2019s dreams, then applying for a mortgage as a married couple definitely has its advantages. While being married won\u2019t automatically qualify you for better rates, your mortgage offer is based on your income \u2014 which is undoubtedly higher when combined. Just make sure you take both of your credit scores into consideration, because if one of you has a drastically lower score, it can affect the ultimate loan and repayment terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. More options for health insurance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve gotten hitched, you\u2019ll have the opportunity to add your spouse onto your health insurance plan, or vice versa. This gives you the ability to \u201cshop around\u201d and figure out which plan offers better coverage and\/or rates. Here\u2019s a tip: Insurers usually charge less for a single policy covering two people than they do for two separate policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/blog_images_benefits_of_marriage_1.jpg\" alt=\"Bride and groom posing on their wedding day.\" class=\"wp-image-5727 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/blog_images_benefits_of_marriage_1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/blog_images_benefits_of_marriage_1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/blog_images_benefits_of_marriage_1-512x384.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/blog_images_benefits_of_marriage_1-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/blog_images_benefits_of_marriage_1-380x285.jpg 380w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/450;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. You can save on taxes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are certain instances where filing separately has its benefits, most couples tend to see a reduction in income taxes when filing jointly. A lower-earning spouse <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moneyunder30.com\/financial-benefits-of-marriage\">can serve as a \u201ctax shelter\u201d<\/a> to the higher-earning one, while filing jointly with just one income usually results in a lower tax bracket than filing as an individual. You\u2019re also exempt from estate and what\u2019s known as the gift tax, meaning that you can leave property, money, or assets of more than $14,000 to your hubby or wife without suffering a large tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Social Security benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re married, you have the ability to claim either your own or up to 50% of your partner\u2019s Social Security benefits when the time comes, even after retirement or in the case of disability or death. That means that if there\u2019s one earner paying more into Social Security, you can both reap the financial benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/blog_images_benefits_of_marriage_2.jpg\" alt=\"Bride and groom posing on their wedding day.\" class=\"wp-image-5728 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/blog_images_benefits_of_marriage_2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/blog_images_benefits_of_marriage_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/blog_images_benefits_of_marriage_2-512x384.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/blog_images_benefits_of_marriage_2-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/blog_images_benefits_of_marriage_2-380x285.jpg 380w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/450;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Better retirement options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spouses have the ability to inherit each other\u2019s retirement accounts. In addition, if one spouse is the sole breadwinner, the other can contribute to what\u2019s called a spousal IRA, which wouldn\u2019t be available as an unmarried couple. This leads to more options in order to maximize growth and figure out your best retirement strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We love to see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/\">Shane Co.<\/a> couples tying the knot because they\u2019re in love, but it helps to know that marriage can also provide a bit more short- and long-term financial security.
