The mistake:\u00a0 Avoiding that (potentially awkward) convo about money<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Money is emotional. When a couple gets married, they bring their personal attitude and approach to finances into the union. If an understanding and agreement about how money will be earned, used, saved, and spent isn’t clear and agreed upon early on, you may be headed for trouble later on. The most contemptuous divorces I see are around the abuse and misuse of money. Undiscussed financial issues can become larger than life and tear even the most devoted couples apart. To avoid financial conflict, don’t keep money a mystery in your marriage. It’s critical for a couple to build a realistic budget, create joint short- and -long term financial goals (and stick<\/em> to them), consistently put money aside in case of an emergency (a job loss or illness) and review these things every so often.” –Gabrielle M. Clemens<\/i><\/strong>, certified divorce financial analyst<\/em><\/div>\n

This is a well-articulated quote about something we’ve heard before – in marriage (or any significant relationship), you HAVE to talk about money. BUT! I’m about to give you an excuse for avoiding the conversation for just a little while longer.<\/p>\n

Wait until you take our Relationship with Money Workshop first. Why? Because in this workshop you’ll become clear about what emotions, attitudes, and approaches you have towards money in both theory AND in reality (they’re usually just a little off \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

You’ll be able to have a much more productive conversation when you’re clear on your own values, perspectives, shortcomings, and strengths. Of course the convo would be exponentially more effective if BOTH of you had this clarity for yourselves before having this talk.<\/p>\n

The workshop is coming up on April 4th<\/sup>. Click here<\/a> to register.<\/em><\/p>\n

I promise, the convo we<\/em> have about money will be far from awkward \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
