If you could, would you check the credit of a potential partner

Yes it matters

Absolutely.

But it’s irresponsible not to have seen their report before marrying someone.

Paul instructed us to do this in his second letter to the Corinthians.

Its called Credit Karma baw, and if she isn't over 700 there is no ring.

It absolutely matters...

And not being willing to discuss it is perhaps an even bigger red flag than a poor credit score.

I woukd get a good full background check before getting engaged

I would say it matters. I am 30 and already know SEVERAL people that are divorced. If the ex had $100k in student loan debt and you married her, you now owe $50k of her debt.

No. Keeping your head in the sand is always a great way to approach life.

Why not sit down together and run each other's credit at the same time? Those with nothing to hide should be all for it, on both sides.

There’s a carfax for people...social media. All the signs are there if you look closely enough
