Money and Marriage: 6 Principles My Husband and I Use to Manage Money as a COUPLE

My husband and I didn’t always know how to manage money as a couple. When we first got married, we had debt and lots of fights about money. Like a lot of married couples, we had to work together to figure out married finances.

Money conversations are difficult – but necessary for a healthy relationship. Today, we’re talking about all things money and marriage: how to talk finances with your spouse, best ways to manage money as a couple, couple financial goals, and the 6 principles we use for managing finances married.

I’ve been thinking about this today and I’ve been looking for videos like this but keep finding ones about “financial abuse” instead. Thank goodness I actually found this video to get some actual sound advice 😮‍💨

You mentioned your previous scarcity mindset and “avoidance patterns” with money. That’s 100% me. Even though I promise myself a million times to conquer that mindset it feels impossible. Any suggestions on how to successfully change this approach?

[angelagosz]

Way to share your story and lessons learned so others may benefit! Love the vulnerability and candor that this took to achieve!

[imanesadik]

Sorry but I have watched twice & couldn’t yet understand how you manage on a weekly basis this ! You need to provide examples

[suereese]

Very practical information to act upon.

You mentioned your previous scarcity mindset and “avoidance patterns” with money. That’s 100% me. Even though I promise myself a million times that I will change, it feels impossible. Any suggestions on how to move through these negative behaviors and mindset?

This is very helpful for me! Could you make more videos about couple & finances, for example, what is the pro and cons of having separate finances or joined finances? That'll be super helpful! Thanks guys!

too bad John is not willing to work with me on this, but...! in recent months (after 26 years of marriage) he has been at least willing to listen and even at times contribute an opinion. Yeah! Now, I need to look at me and see if there are things I'm saying inadvertently that puts him off. If so and I can fix that then perhaps I'll finally get the help I need with our finances.
