That may seem like a strange question, but it begins to get at a way of looking at issues involving money that can lead to insights and a new way of dealing with your relationship. We have found that our clients may talk with us about money issues when they are really dealing with relationship issues. Over the years, we have learned about the role of money in relationships and some things that can be done to have money add strength to a relationship rather than be the source of problems. For the most part, money is seldom discussed freely in our culture and especially between people in a relationship. Our desire for ambiguity sometimes leads to problems with money.
Some people develop compulsive behaviors with regard to money.
Many have difficulty with credit cards and other forms of debt and are unable to properly manage this area of life. That is a discussion for another time. In this short essay, we will want to examine with you what impact money has on our life and our relationships. These are some of the topics that we will explore. The intention is to bring ourselves to a level of clarity that will allow for shaping our lives consciously and consistent with our own best interests.
