Description

Seventy-five percent of divorced couples in the U.S. cite money as the cause of their marital problems. A third of married couples said that “a lack of financial responsibility” hurt their relationships more than their partner being unfaithful. First Comes Love, Then Comes Money, written by Bethany and Scott Palmer-also known as “The Money Couple”- expose the other type of “cheating” in relationships today: financial cheating. All too often, relationships and marriages are failing due to miscommunication about money. If you’ve ever lied to your spouse about how much you’ve spent, or opened a credit card behind their back, you’re guilty of financial infidelity.
