Read an Excerpt

Chapter 1: Love, Inc. The Romance in Finance
Most couples experience some tension over money. In fact, money is the single leading cause of fights among engaged people and couples in their first marriage, according to University of Denver professors Scott M. Stanley and Howard J. Markman.



Book Description

Money is a major cause of tension among modern couples because most fail to recognize that they are in business together. The 7 Most Important Money Decisions You'll Ever Make is the first book that teaches partners to apply skills and talents they already use at work to master their personal finances. The authors introduce a unique, revolutionary five-step decision-making process - complete with convenient worksheets and step-by-step instructions - to help couples take action toward realizing their dreams.

After you learn how this fun and surprisingly effective process works, you - and your partner - can work out inspired solutions to some of the biggest challenges couples face: wresting control of debt, maintaining your lifestyle if one of you loses a job, deciding whether and when to change careers, arranging for one partner to stay at home with the kids, and much more. Here is a powerful personal-finance plan that turns managing money into a shared romantic experience.
