If you’re counting down the days to A24’s Materialists, the summer’s most anticipated romantic drama starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, you’re not alone. But here’s the thing: while Lucy (Dakota Johnson), the film’s savvy matchmaker, navigates the high-stakes world of romance and wealth for her clients, real-life couples face similar questions. How do you balance love and security? What happens when money gets tangled up with matters of the heart? And, importantly, how do you protect your relationship from the financial curveballs life throws your way?

Good news, the answer’s not movie magic: for real-life couples, that’s where First comes in.

Why “Materialists” Gets It Right About Love and Money

In Materialists, Lucy’s job is to find the “perfect match,” but even she can’t ignore the reality that financial security is a big part of long-term happiness.The film doesn’t shy away from the fact that marriage is often as much a financial partnership as it is a romantic one. Characters grapple with the allure of wealth, the comfort of stability, and the risks that come with chasing love in a material world.

Sound familiar? It should. Whether you’re planning a glamorous Manhattan wedding or a cozy backyard ceremony, every couple faces the same question: how do we build a future that’s both romantically exciting and financially secure?
