Talking Sweet With Your Sweetheart
With Valentine’s Day weekend upon us, we share a few ideas for how you can make “money talk” a constructive part of your relationship. When planning a date night or weekend getaway, few people think to make a discussion of finances part of the event. However, with money frequently cited as one of the top relationship stressors, allocating time to have financial conversations with your sweetheart is a worthwhile endeavor. Here, we share five ways to have financial conversations with your sweetheart. And, as we recognize that approaching these conversations can be difficult, we offer a piece from Dr. Gary Chapman about “The 5 Love Languages”. Gary identifies five categories to highlight how people understand and give love, and while we need all the love languages, there is usually one that really speaks to each of us. Ultimately, we hope you use this Valentine’s Day as a reminder that love and money can go well together!
