What’s the final hurdle for couples to overcome the money fights in their relationship? Find out now in this final installment of my series.
Part I: How Couples Can End the Money Fights (a look at the importance of communication)

My wife and I were making such progress.
Goals and values being shared in open and honest communication - Check.
Emotional barriers torn apart and strong connections being rebuilt through the sharing of feelings - Check.
Budget in solid working order after months of trial and error - Check.
Frivolous spending habits being altered through discipline and focus - Check.
