This is not the first time we’ve gone to bed utterly exasperated with one another…

Over money.

These late night budget meetings are a bear.

A big one.

I remember hearing about how major the area of finances can be in a marriage.

I also remember wondering what the big deal was.

Wrong.

Not that simple.

Finances are about money… but it’s really about way more than the money.

It’s about priorities.

It’s about personal significance.

It’s about individual preference.

It’s about both people in the marriage feeling that what matters to them is accounted for.

And that can mean some sizable disagreements when two people are vying after what matters most, but with limited funds.
