Rachel Cruze joins me to answer a question from anonymous: “My husband wants separate bank accounts and I don't. What should I do?”
We discuss the options available to our anonymous friend including the importance of clear communication and even asking for support from a marriage counselor. With money fights being a top reason for marital fights and divorce, this is an important issue to tackle for couples.
In our podcast interview, Rachel and I also discuss her thoughts on the Enneagram Test, how she differs in opinions from her Dad (Dave Ramsey) and what she thinks of the FIRE Community.
What are we covering?
Rachel and I review the following:
- The disadvantages of having separate bank accounts in marriage
- How marriage counseling can enhance your relationship and your overall communication
- Why our childhood affects our relationship with money
When it comes to marriage and money, getting on the same page matters. Check out this conversation and see how it can help you to create happy, healthy and wealthy relationship goals.
