Money is one of the top causes of conflict in relationships. Learn how couples can manage finances together, set shared goals, and build a secure future.
The Money Conversation
Many couples avoid discussing finances. Start the conversation with openness and no judgment.
Create Shared Goals
What do you want together? Home, children, travel? Shared goals unite couples around a common purpose.
Choose a Budget Strategy
- Joint Account Only: Merge finances completely
- Separate Accounts: Keep finances independent
- Hybrid: Joint account for shared expenses, separate for personal
