Money and Marriage: 6 Principles My Husband and I Use to Manage Money as a COUPLE

My husband and I didn’t always know how to manage money as a couple. When we first got married, we had debt and lots of fights about money. Like a lot of married couples, we had to work together to figure out married finances.
Money conversations are difficult - but necessary for a healthy relationship. Today, we’re talking about all things money and marriage: how to talk finances with your spouse, best ways to manage money as a couple, couple financial goals, and the 6 principles we use for managing finances married.

Thanks for watching! Do you want to see more videos on how to manage money as a couple? What questions do you still have?

[@rmoven85]

Yes, I appreciate this video and the steps you guys took to achieve a sound financial plan that meets both your needs as a couple and individuals. I am year 12 in my marriage and this is still hard to talk about sometimes. Especially when "fingers" are being pointed at oneanother. The honesty is real and thus help me to realize that and how important a plan is and just having that hard conversation on a weekly basis. I would like to know what advise or tools you use to keep on track with budget and MISC. Purchases?

[@rmoven85]

Also, as coming from different backgrounds in your financial literacy, how did you guys get on the same page? What helped?

[@stuson6342]

Separate account or joint or both for married with kids

Thank you for this video! Even though we don't have financial fights, it's because I do all the work- and I don't think it's fair. Have a blessed day!

[@BaronSamedi2.0]

I hope you’re doing okay? 😅 This comment sounds otherwise, in a scary way

[@geliep]

oh Thank you! Thank you. I am financially independent and I am about to move to the US with my fiance. I will introduce these tips to my future husband. Thank you

[@Idkwhatimdoinhere17]

I’ve been thinking about this today and I’ve been looking for videos like this but keep finding ones about “financial abuse” instead. Thank goodness I actually found this video to get some actual sound advice 😮‍💨

[@DowJanesFinancialEducation]

Happy we could help!! Best of luck as you and your partner learn how to manage money together ❤

[@KOllectivebykellyodell]

this was useful

[@kyaghleah]

Thanks! Why don't they teach this in high school in EVERY class : - ) ???

[@Trinidad.m]

Thank you so much for this video! I’m about to move across the country to get married to my fiancé and money is definitely something I’m weary about! Video was so helpful

[@DowJanesFinancialEducation]

Glad it was helpful! Wishing you all the best ❤

[@emiliewright6532]

You mentioned your previous scarcity mindset and “avoidance patterns” with money. That’s 100% me. Even though I promise myself a million times to conquer that mindset it feels impossible. Any suggestions on how to successfully change this approach?

[@SelfCareBoss222]

Start with an attitude of plenty. Make a list of ten things you are grateful to have right now. This gets you in the mindset of you are already abundant. It changes your mood dramatically 💚

[@conniescreations1633]

Hello, question is it best to have one account all debt auto pays come from? Currently we two franchises and his pays goes in one and mine the other , we have debt paying from both . Would this be easier if one used fir hopefully soon savings and other for debt auto payments Thank you in advance

[@emiliewright6532]

You mentioned your previous scarcity mindset and “avoidance patterns” with money. That’s 100% me. Even though I promise myself a million times that I will change, it feels impossible. Any suggestions on how to move through these negative behaviors and mindset?

[@DowJanesFinancialEducation]

Yup! We have a video on scarcity mindset and how to change it in just a few weeks :)

[@karentin4881]

This is very helpful for me! Could you make more videos about couple & finances, for example, what is the pro and cons of having separate finances or joined finances? That'll be super helpful! Thanks guys!

[@DowJanesFinancialEducation]

Glad you found it helpful!! We're planning our next batch of videos, so we'll definitely consider that :) Let us know if you have any other video requests!

[@imanesadik9931]

Sorry but I have watched twice & couldn’t yet understand how you manage on a weekly basis this ! You need to provide examples

[@claredrake8396]

too bad John is not willing to work with me on this, but...! in recent months (after 26 years of marriage) he has been at least willing to listen and even at times contribute an opinion. Yeah! Now, I need to look at me and see if there are things I'm saying inadvertently that puts him off. If so and I can fix that then perhaps I'll finally get the help I need with our finances.

[@humblejedi333]

So #6 is to split up the tasks as you see fit? Would be nice to have a slide at the end with all 6 principles. Thanks!

[@DowJanesFinancialEducation]

Yes! Sorry about that -- didn't realize that we dropped the ball on the last point 🙈

[@rmoven85]

What were some of those tasks to talk about and divide? Outside of the Income vs. Expenses, what more should be considered?

[@jborrego2406]

13:31 lol of course u like it . Good husband

[@veteranossg]

Did you say, “he is a Virgo” and that’s why he is better at managing the nuts and bolts of the budgeting🤔? you were making so much sense and then…

[@kathleenrev7]

4000$ !!!! Really?

[@Syerren]

This was very boring.
