The money talk that every couple needs to have

When it comes to talking about money with your significant other, most of us ... just don't. But the fact is, if you share a life, you need to discuss your finances now, says behavioral scientist Wendy De La Rosa. She explains why and shares 3 tips to get you started.

Most couples would rather reveal their full dating history than share their financial past, even though money issues predict divorce more than any other conflict. When one partner handles all finances, the other’s skills often fade, leaving them vulnerable if the relationship ends. Open conversations about money build trust and resilience. Joint decision-making can help couples take fewer risks and save more for the future.
