To be honest you don't need to have big indepth discussions on your finances, but you should always regularly check in with your spouse (and kids) as to your monthly budget. Even something as simple as 15 minutes once a month, where you go over the previous months income and expenses and see if there are any differences from the budget, and you make a new budget for the next month is more than enough. It creates a space to ask questions, and keeps everyone up to date on where they stand, so you won't suddenly learn that your spouse has been maxing out their credit cards to buy FUNKO-POP! Figurines over the past 2 years.
