Oh yea. I was in college and still racking up debt, so we definitely discussed it. He was hesitant to discuss his credit card debt (not much since he only had 1), but it was so tiny next to my loan it wasn't even a big deal. We were below average as far as debt at our age when we first got married. What I wish we had discussed prior was our financial philosophy (attitude about paying bills, saving, buying cars, etc) beforehand. There have definitely been disagreements about the way I do thing vs the way he does, especially when he came back from a year deployment where I'd been handling everything my way
