Let’s Talk About Money: Low-Conflict Conversations for Couples
Available January 8, 2026
Money is the most common source of conflict in relationships and a leading cause of divorce as couples often clash over spending habits, debt, and financial priorities rooted in differing beliefs and past experiences. These arguments are rarely just about money but reflect deeper fears, insecurities, and values formed in childhood. When partners see each other as opponents instead of teammates, resentment grows and tension becomes chronic. This book shares real stories of couples who overcame financial struggles by learning to communicate openly, rebuild trust, and approach money as a shared challenge, ultimately strengthening both their financial health and emotional connection.
It gives couples the tools needed to transform their dysfunctional patterns of relating by integrating effective communication strategies. It will empower them to recover quickly when regrettable comments or behaviors occur. Let’s Talk About Money also offers couples the skills needed for creating shared financial goals such as buying a house, getting rid of bad debt, saving for retirement, or estate planning.
