When Money Becomes a Love Language
Money conversations don't have to end in arguments or awkward silence. What if discussing finances could actually strengthen your relationship? Ramit Sethi's approach to couples' finances focuses on emotional connection through financial teamwork rather than just numbers. Unlike traditional advice that vaguely suggests "having the money talk," Sethi provides specific scripts, strategies, and psychological insights that transform how couples relate to money. The most revealing insight from his work with real couples? Financial feelings rarely correlate with actual bank balances. Whether dealing with six-figure debt or millions in savings, couples struggle with the same core issues. And in 90% of relationships, one person handles all the money - a dangerous imbalance that creates resentment and financial vulnerability. Money isn't like washing dishes - it's more like parenting. It affects every aspect of your lives together, from where you live to how you spend your time. Both partners need to be involved, even if one has more financial aptitude than the other.
