When is the last time you and your spouse had an argument about money? Was it the “same old issue”? My contention is that couples who continue to argue about the same thing over and over again need help. You are wasting your energy. You don’t have a problem that other couples have not had. Why not reach out and get the wisdom of an older couple?

Most older couples would be thrilled to help you find answers to your money problems. Pick a couple you respect, and ask if they would be willing to help. If they don’t have the answer, they can likely point you to someone who does. Constant arguing destroys your relationship. Call a truce and look for help. Make money an asset to your marriage, not a battleground.
