Money & Marriage

It's Not Just About the Money

It’s about what the money represents: control, trust, security, freedom, resentment, power, and partnership.

Even the most committed couples struggle to talk about finances without feeling defensive, shut down, or overwhelmed.

 

This course helps you explore what’s really going on beneath the surface—so you can move from silent tension to open teamwork.

Overview

  • Money & Marriage is a 10-part, therapist-designed course for couples who want to navigate financial conversations with more clarity, respect, and connection.  It doesn’t just tell you how to budget—it helps you understand why these issues keep showing up, and how to shift them.

You'll Explore Topics Like:

  • Different money mindsets shaped by childhood, culture, and trauma

  • Income disparities and the emotional weight of financial roles

  • Budgeting in a way that reflects both values and lifestyle

  • Debt, secrecy, avoidance, and conflict patterns

  • Family expectations, long-term goals, and relationship fairness

What You Get:

  • 10 guided chapter worksheets

  • Real-world conversation scripts

  • Budgeting templates and goal planners

  • You’re tired of transactional conversations and want relational ones

  • You want to feel like a financial team—even if you don’t agree on everything

What Makes This Different?

This isn’t a finance class.  It’s a relational reconfiguration—led by a licensed therapist and focused on the emotional, psychological, and cultural dynamics that shape your financial world.


You won’t just walk away with a budget.  You’ll walk away with a better understanding of each other.
