You Paid How Much For That?!

This book presents the cure for the No. 1 reason for conflict in marriage. From the team that wrote the bestselling book "Fighting for Your Marriage" comes a hands-on guide for couples to use from honeymoon to retirement that will help them resolve their money issues. Frequent fights about money are often symptoms of deeper problems such as power dynamics, struggles over appropriate gender roles, addictive impulses, and other interpersonal conflicts. Step-by-step the authors show how to understand these underlying issues and overcome the day-to-day struggles of financial conflict, the biggest cause of stress and breakups in relationships. In addition to offering solid advice for strengthening a relationship, this handy guide also includes excellent information on lifelong financial planning that is based on more than twenty-five years of original research in the field of marriage and money.
