If you’ve ever avoided talking about money with your partner because you didn’t want the conversation to turn into a disagreement, you’re not alone. A lot of couples know they should be talking about money, but the conversation keeps getting postponed.

In this episode, I explain why avoiding money conversations actually creates more financial tension and how a simple weekly money date can help you and your partner get on the same page.

A money date is a dedicated weekly time where you intentionally check in with your partner about your finances. Using my simple framework, I walk through how money dates create a weekly rhythm for couples to check in about their finances, talk about upcoming expenses, and align on what matters most.

These short conversations help you and your partner reduce tension around money and build trust in how you manage your finances together.
