Couples often fight about money and financial conflict is a leading cause of divorce, which highlights just how emotional money really is. Resentment can build up if financial conflicts aren’t addressed which can cause deep emotional pain for everyone involved.

In this episode of the Money Minus Shame podcast, Host Nate Astle, CFT™, M.S. and Tyrone White Jr., AFC®, CFT™, MSF  delve into the complexities of money conflict in relationships. They discuss the emotional weight of financial disagreements, the importance of seeking appropriate therapy, and the signs that indicate when couples should consider financial therapy. The conversation also covers the sensitive topic of financial infidelity, highlighting its prevalence and the emotional fallout it can cause. Finally, they explore common conflicts between spenders and savers, emphasizing the need for open communication and understanding in financial matters.

Differences in spending and saving styles are normal and should be navigated with understanding and open communication. The truth is, the process of conflict resolution can be much more important than the topics of disagreement. 

When seeking financial therapy, it's essential to find the right therapist who understands both relationship dynamics and financial issues. If you need help finding a qualified financial therapist, the Financial Therapy Association can help.
