Perpetual Problems Around Finances – Gottman Institute

One of the major issues couples have perpetual problems with is finances. Money can be a tough subject in any relationship especially when there are disagreements about how to budget and save. The fight you are having about how much to spend on vacation or holiday gifts is probably not really about those specific things but a bigger issue behind those things. Perpetual problems are typically about something much deeper; a dream, or a value that you differ on. With money, it’s more than just being a spender or a saver. Typically there is something you may not even realize yourselves about how you use your money.
