I'm sad to say most of our rows are rooted in money arguments. Hopefully this will help us get on the same page once and for all. Thank you Savannah!

This is $7.99 now. Guess we all need to figure out how to stop fighting on our own! :)
I think an agreed approach to money management is critical for your marriage. When we first got together, I was horrified by my husband's "spend it today, worry about it tomorrow" attitude. It was a bumpy road at first, him thinking I was too much of a Scrooge and me thinking he was too irresponsible. We found a middle ground fortunately.
