Why Couples Should Have Money Dates

Money can be a touchy subject for many couples. It can be a source of stress, conflict, and even resentment. But it doesn't have to be that way. By having regular money dates, couples can learn to communicate about their finances, set financial goals, and build a stronger financial foundation for their relationship.

What are Money Dates?

Money dates are simply regular conversations between couples about their finances. They can be as formal or informal as you like. Some couples like to sit down with a financial planner or accountant to get professional advice. Others prefer to simply talk about their finances over dinner or coffee. The important thing is to make time to talk about money on a regular basis.

Why are Money Dates Important?

There are many benefits to having money dates. Here are just a few:

• Improved communication: Money dates can help couples improve their communication skills when it comes to finances. This can lead to a better understanding of each other's financial goals and priorities.
• Reduced stress: Money can be a major source of stress for couples. By talking about their finances regularly, couples can reduce the amount of stress they feel about money.
• Increased financial security: When couples work together to manage their finances, they can create a more secure financial future for themselves and their families.
