Money is a source of bonding and a source of conflict in every relationship I’ve studied.

I think this is because money represents things. Money shows us what we value. Money clarifies those values.

When you share values, you tend to spend and save similarly. But money can also be a source of conflict. When you encounter differences in how to spend money, it’s a signal that you are valuing different things.

In this episode, you'll hear a short conversation I had with my son about how he and his wife share money which illuminates how a couple's finances reflect their values.

Date Night Discussion

This week, talk to your partner about what you value in life and when it comes to your finances. After you’ve talked about these values, ask YOURSELF if your spending and saving habits align with those values.
