I thought this was interesting b/c I do think it is VERY important for spouses to be on the same page when it comes to finances.

My Mom used to say (about herand my Dad) "The only 2 things we really ever fought about were Money and Kids."

thanks for sharing! we are mostly on the same page, but my husband worries about money all the time, so we fight about it none the less.

Great article -thanks for sharing. We had great pre-marital counseling with a Pastor and he couldn't tell us this enough. It has been AWESOME to be on the same page financially since the very beginning. My parents fought about money a lot and I do not want to repeat their mistakes.

DH used to be a lot looser with money than I, but we have both really adapted to each others' financial habits a little bit. DH has helped me realize that I CAN have a little spending money once in a while, and I have helped him realize the importance of frugality and saving. I count myself as really lucky
