Did you know that 63% of couples think their mate overspends in some way? This can create arguments. In fact, money fights are the number one reason for divorce. Money issues can wreak havoc in multiple areas of marriage. How do we resolve this? 1. Marriage is a partnership. Both of you need to be involved in the finances. Put all of your money together. 2. Marriage is a compromise. So, your lifestyle needs to line up with your actual income, not what you want it to be. 3. Make a plan! Decide TOGETHER how to budget for the things you need or want. 4. Find common ground. Opposites attract, so you are married to a different person for a reason. |
