Do You and Your Significant Other Match in Terms of Money. By Kathleen Gurney, Ph.D . Many people talk about looking for their soul mate, but little thought is given to finding their financial match. This is probably because in the United States, money is truly the last taboo.
People are more likely to discuss sex than finances.
Yet it is the money issue that causes many of the conflicts couples experience today. Couples may see eye to eye on most things yet view money matters very differently. Then there may be a real clash. And while the clash may seem to just be about money it is really about the incompatibilities between your financial personality, spending and savings values and priorities and your partner's. That is why finding your financial match, or knowing how to handle the finance issue with a mate that is not a match, is so important to a healthy and happy relationship.
