\"couple<\/a><\/p>\n

Money fights tend to cause a lot of problems in many marriages. People have different backgrounds and different ways they spend and use money, and this could cause a problem when two people with two different ideologies about money come together.<\/p>\n

One research found that more than half of couples admitted that they quarrel a lot of the time about money.<\/p>\n

Research also suggests that fighting over finance is more common among couples than arguing about sex.<\/p>\n

So how then can you stop having money arguments with your partner?<\/p>\n

1. LOOK FOR COMMON GROUNDS <\/strong><\/p>\n

A major reason couples have those money fights is because they fail to find a common ground, but choose to be persistent about what their own idea. Rather than insisting on what should happen, couples should try to find a common ground — and many of their money fights will disappear.<\/p>\n

2. COMMUNICATE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Find easy ways to communicate with your partner when talking about your finances. You should both communicate about what you want and what you feel is right; it shouldn’t be like an interrogation. This way, it would be easy to find a common ground.<\/p>\n

3. CUT OFF THAT FEELING OF FRUSTRATION AND IRRITABILITY<\/strong><\/p>\n

When talking about your finances, cut off every feeling of anger, irritation and frustration. When these negative energies are present, you won’t be able to have a healthy discussion.<\/p>\n

4. PLAN TOGETHER<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plan together, take major decisions together, and if there must be a compromise, it should be together. This will foster unity and give a sense of oneness that will enable you and your partner handle those money issues better.<\/p>\n

5. SET A LIMIT<\/strong><\/p>\n

It could be that one partner is a spendthrift and the other loves to save; this could cause a lot of problems if you can’t both agree. The best thing to do in this situation is set a limit — both partners should agree on a limit that would go for shopping and spending and a certain percentage that should go for savings. By this, both partners would be in check and the money arguments would reduce drastically.<\/p>\n

6. FIX IT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Find solutions to your money problems; don’t keep having the same issues over and over, else your marriage will suffer. Try to find the best solution for every problem encountered, rather than leaving them to pile up; your marriage would only become toxic if you let them pile up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Research suggests that if you can find a way to sync your money approach with your partner’s, you’ll have a healthier relationship — and this is absolutely true.<\/p>\n
