It is teamwork

Money management in a marriage is not about one person carrying the ball for the couple. Both husband and wife need to take part in decision-making, budgeting, and bill-paying. The best thing about managing money together is that it gives you the ability to decide what you want together and then save for that goal together. But to properly work as a team, you must have the same goals in mind. Both individuals need to work together to come up with what the common goals are and find ways to accomplish those goals.

One person might be earning much more than the other or it might even be a single-earner family – and yet, teamwork is crucial for true financial intimacy!
