One of the biggest downfalls of marriage is money. Not because of money itself, but rather because most people don't talk about their ATTITUDE about money BEFORE they are married. I took an 8 week seminar years ago, and learned lots about money...and nothing particular in how to "make more" but rather to explore your own attitude about how you perceive money. Is there scarcity or is there abundance? How much is enough? Saving or not? Do they want everything right away that it took their parents years to get? and all the etcs....Napolian Hill's book "Think and Grow Rich" is still good, and so is Phil Laut's 60 page book on Attitudes on Money, if you can find it. Of our three sons, two of them have married women who had their own attitudes about money, thank you very much, and they knew everything already.... It never occurred to us that that would happen, because we thought ours were pretty grounded as far as money was concerned. They both wish they had really explored the various scenarios BEFORE they married....Just simply didn't think it was important enough. On of the sons is a romantic...he just thought if there wasn't enough money coming in, he'd just go and make more. Turns out that doesn't work, if his partner never saw a material or emotional want, that she didn't need. They both spend more money than both your family and ours make, and they still have massive bills. Life is just a chair of bowlies, isn' it?
