Finances
IN THIS LESSON
Money is one of the main reasons couples fight. Whether poor or rich, money can be a source of great conflict in a relationship. Time, money and work are issues that permeate every marriage. The time to uncover our similarities and differences is before the issues grow into insurmountable problems. Different perceptions about what it means to be financially stable are common. What is important is how a couple handles their financial disagreements. Work can take up as much time and energy as our relationship itself. Having open conversations about our commitment to our work is just as important as the conversations around our commitment to marriage. Both commitments demand our time and attention. Finding a way to satisfy both is vital to the success of the relationship.
