Full Description
What if the biggest threat to your relationship isn't infidelity, but instead is your next credit card bill? You can stop arguing and learn how to talk about money.
Disagreements about money can quietly erode trust and connection in a relationship, often becoming a major source of stress and even separation. When partners bring different histories, attitudes, and beliefs about money to the table, conflict can escalate quickly. If couples stay stuck in an "us against each other" mindset instead of shifting to "us against the problem," tension can become chronic. Author, Terry Gaspard shows readers how to break this cycle by teaching practical strategies for having calm, constructive conversations about finances. Her approach helps partners communicate effectively, reduce conflict, and build a stronger, more harmonious relationship.
