Be Honest
Never try to hide your money troubles from your spouse, no matter how small you think the white lie is. Being honest about finances can help couples dodge fights because it helps them understand each other’s financial attitudes, goals, and habits.
When both members are transparent and open about their money, they can come up with a budget that works for both of them.
They’ll pinpoint areas where they might need to compromise or make changes to lower potential disputes and review their finances to ensure they’re on the same page about everything. It’s also the only way to maintain accuracy in your decision-making and planning.
