Money Together - by Heather Boneparth & Douglas Boneparth (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Money talks. Are you listening?

Your relationship with money begins long before you find a partner, and it isn't quick to change just because you love someone. Your money behaviors reflect your identities, values, and deepest feelings. So, you'll need more than budgets and bank accounts to navigate them together.

In Money Together, Heather and Douglas Boneparth help couples in every era of their lives approach money with greater fairness, sustainability, respect, and love. They offer short stories from their own lives, as well as those from other couples whose experiences are as raw and real as they get. With help from leading financial experts, couples therapists, psychologists, and more, they offer a fresh, human perspective on a taboo topic that leaves too much unsaid.

Money Together is more than a money guide--it's a movement for creating powerful relationships with both partners at the table.
