A short talk by Louis Barajas arguing that relationship problems attributed to money are in fact communication problems; improving communication — sometimes with help from a family financial therapist — can preserve loving relationships and model healthy conflict resolution for children. The speaker emphasizes mutual solutions that work for both partners.
I will share with you. Because at the end of the day, it's not about who's right. It's about how can you maintain a loving relationship, how can you spend time together, be loving, be around your family so they don't sense that stress that you guys have when it comes to money. And, you know, they say that the number one reason for divorce is our issues around money. And I will share with you, meeting with couples my entire lifetime, almost. It's really not money issues. It's lack of communication about money issues. And if they learn how to communicate. And sometimes you need a specialist, like a family financial therapist that can really walk you through and will make tremendous changes in your life and your love life. And it affects everyone around you as well. Also, with your children, they learn from you on how to communicate when there's really difficult issues. So when it comes to managing money, this was from Jose.
Hopefully, like I said, go back and see what really works for you. But it's not what works just for you. It's what works for both of you. Okay, Think about that.
