Communication and Finances

Hello there,

Welcome to Episode 1. Today we’re looking at one of the biggest challenges couples face: money and communication.

The Problem

• Different spending habits create tension

• Avoiding financial talks leads to misunderstanding

• Money often represents safety for one person, freedom for the other

Why It Matters

When these differences stay unspoken, resentment builds. Over time, trust can weaken, and the relationship feels less like a team effort.

The Solution

• Open up your stories: Share how you each grew up with money and what it means to you

• Set shared goals: Plan for the future together, from travel dreams to saving for a home

• Communicate with care: Use “I feel” statements instead of blame

• Check in regularly: Short monthly talks prevent small issues from growing

• Seek guidance if needed: A neutral voice can help when things feel stuck

When couples talk about money honestly, they’re not just solving financial stress. They’re building trust. They’re saying to each other, “we are a team.”
