Episode 65: Love, Money, and the Little Things That Start Fights

Lindsey and Brett talk about the little things in marriage that seem small but can actually matter more than we realize. They get into tone of voice, why “I’m fine” rarely means fine, hangry and tired arguments, communication differences in relationships, and why we tend to get most annoyed with the person we love most.

Then they shift into money and marriage, answering practical financial questions couples actually ask: Should married couples combine finances or keep them separate? What are the biggest money fights couples have? Should you pay down debt or invest? And what does diversification really mean in plain English? If you’ve ever argued over tone, felt misunderstood, or wondered how couples can communicate better about money, this episode is for you.
