Fifty-six percent of people who are unhappily married say financial problems are to blame. As the numbers from Money Management International’s recent survey show, no two subjects spark up more heat than love and money. While a financially sound relationship can help kindle romance, a relationship plagued by financial problems can lead to decreased levels of happiness and, potentially, a relationship meltdown.

MMI offers many great resources to help couples successfully handle their finances. The new eBook, Love and Money: Your Guide to the Coupling of Finance and Romance, addresses both the fun and serious sides of marrying two financial situations. MMI’s free Couples and Money Webinar is full of insight on the best ways for couples to effectively communicate with each other about their financial situation.

Love and Money eBook

In addition to fun, flirty topics like affordable date ideas; gift ideas for the penniless, hopeless romantic; and printable gift certificates, Love and Money focuses on the more serious issues of merging two people’s finances. In the eBook, couples will find:

• ten quick tips for planning together;
• ten financial topics to consider before committing;
• how to protect loved ones from financial crisis; and
• how to survive financially when love goes wrong.

Love and Money: Your Guide to the Coupling of Finance and Romance is available to download free of charge at http://Love.MoneyManagement.org.

Free Couples and Money Webinar and more great resources

Couples wondering how to have the talk with their partners regarding finances will benefit from MMI’s free Webinar on Wednesday, February 10th; at 8:00PM EST. Register for the Webinar on MoneyManagement.org.

Love and Money Matters, a MMI produced video available on YouTube, is another great resource for steps on how couples can better their financial situation.

I is true that money is one of the reason why couple are having conflicts. It is because of the financial needs of the children especially when the children are already studying. Maybe I can advice you to have as early as possible so that it is not hard for you to find money when they are in college, and there are several ways to go about it, unless you WANT them to navigate the murky waters of financial aid and the payments they'll practically need payday loans to keep up with.
