4. What is occurring in our own personal
relationship with money will often be
mirrored back to us in our relationship
with our spouses.
If we are avoiding money issues in our
personal life, we will be able to clearly see the

marriage. Ironically it’s a lot easier to see it in
our spouses than it is to see it in ourselves.

5. What if your partner isn’t interested in
communicating about money or having
consistent and on-going money
conversations?
•
Why not go ahead and learn about
money on your own?
•
Why not make a commitment to work
on clearing up your personal
finances on your own?
•
Ask yourself, “What am I afraid of?”

6. I want to encourage you to jump right in!
•
Don’t feel like you have to wait for your
spouse to be ready to participate in ongoing
money conversations.
•
By being willing to forge ahead you will begin
to feel empowered instead of disempowered
•
Don’t be surprised if you’re spouse wants to
get involved once they see you making
financial progress! © 2010 Leslie Cunningham
