Well, I would say you have to know what you're planning for, that is your goals. It's just like planning things for yourself, like what grades you want to get for your exams at the end of the year, to what school you want to enroll, and what you see yourself at the outcome of it. It has to be worthwhile to you and your partner, if not both of you will never make it through because the r/s would not mean anything to one of you or even both, and thus the r/s will dwindle off.
Financially unstable can seen as a problem as probably you might have faced, but it can also be seen as a challenge. For instance, you can ask yourself if what you want work as in the future, as well as your partner's, then check out the salary and and promotion opportunities. You and your partner can plan out individually where you see yourselves first, and begin to match things up and see what adjustments are needed to be made.
In fact, planning can also help to strengthed the r/s as both of you work it out together against the odds. It may seem a lot of work before there planning, therefore the goal has to be something that both of you really want, and be heading towards, so that it would motivate both of you to propel towards it. In fact, it's also good to have the two of you working towards it, as you can remind each other, and push each other.. =)
