Manage episode 474391506 series 3573046
Ever noticed how talking about finances with your partner can turn a loving relationship into a conversation filled with stress, defensiveness, and hurt feelings? Money conversations with your spouse don't have to end in arguments or avoidance - there are simple approaches to transform financial discussions into productive, peaceful conversations.
Many couples avoid talking about money due to past experiences, emotional baggage, or differences in money habits. Financial discussions often spark tension, especially when partners have contrasting approaches to spending and saving.
Effective money communication requires empathy, curiosity, and working together as a team.
In this episode, I share 3 powerful approaches that have completely changed how my husband and I discuss money:
✅ Changing your approach by focusing on dreams and goals in the beginning of the conversation instead of problems
✅ Choosing the right time and setting for money conversations
✅ The importance of active listening and asking open-ended questions
