He says: "We can't afford to keep running up the charge card. Am I the only one who's worried about our finances?"
She says: "Stop picking one me. I spent it on the kids, not myself. You sound just like your father."
He says: "My father worked hard for his money. There's nothing wrong with how he spends it."
She says: "That's not what your mother tells me."

Sound familiar? While this argument may vary within each household or business, the pattern remains the same. Yet few money guides are written for couples, especially same sex couples or business partners. In OUR MONEY OURSELVES FOR COUPLES: Redesigning Your Relationship with Money psychotherapists Diane Ealy and Kay Lesh identify "hot-button" money topics most couples fight about, such as when one partner out-earns the other. The authors trace these conflicts to "secrets" in the past, confusion over what's "mine," "yours" and "ours," and unhealthy attitudes toward money.

Using profiles, questionnaires, "money genograms," activities, and exercises, Drs. Ealy and Lesh help readers overcome their money fears, stop using money as a weapon, develop "joint" money vision, and plan new money strategies for the future.
