I was given this book to review in exchange for an honest review. That in no way shaped my opinion of this book. About The 5 Money Personalities
The hidden key to a healthy relationship is not just managing money but understanding how the other approaches money.
Every couple argues about money. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been married for 40 years or dating for 4 months, money touches every decision you make as a couple—from the $5 cup of coffee to the $50,000 car. And when the two of you don’t see eye-to-eye on how much to spend or how much to save, that’s when arguments turn into ugly toxic fights that leave both persons feeling hurt and angry. It’s why money has become the #1 cause of divorce in the U.S. Obviously, something needs to change. The reason this crisis has not been addressed is because it has never been identified, defined, or given a name. Scott and Bethany Palmer, aka “The Money Couple,” have identified and defined this problem and offer concrete solutions to fix it.
Once you know your Money Personality, you can get to the root of money arguments and start really working together. You’ll discover what has an impact on your loved one’s money decisions, and you’ll learn how to talk about money in a way that’s actually fun! You’ll figure out how to put an end to money secrets and lies once and for all.
It’s not just about money management, and it’s definitely not just about overcoming debt. It is a whole new way of living that will change everything in your relationship. Tens of thousands have already been transformed. Are you ready?

My Take on This Book
I found this book to be really good. It wasn’t your typical self-help book. Nor was it one of those books that hands you budget sheets and tells you how to fix your money budgets. However, it does give you the tools you need to figure out what type of “money personality” you have and how it affects your marriage. They also provide you other marriage resources as well. I believe this is a very helpful book to get a couple headed in the right direction.
Do you know what your money personality is?
Thank you for stopping by and commenting. A lot of people don’t realize how important having open honest in depth conversations are for a marriage. We have to learn how to think and feel like our spouses in order to make a stronger bond. This is a wonderful book and I feel it will definitely help a lot of couples (including my own.)
Nah, once he argued about money… I divorced him 🙂
That’s an interesting come back. I’m assuming there was a lot more to it than just that. 😉
Yes we definitely have had our share of money arguments
I do believe it wouldn’t be natural if a couple didn’t have them at least once in their marriage. 🙂
