  • Marriage, Money, and What Makes Couples Fight

    Couples are known to have their frequent, or not-so-frequent, disagreements. And research shows that some of the most common disagreements among married couples are over things like kids, chores, and communication. But it seems like arguments over money, while not as frequent, are the arguments that are the most damaging, and our guest tells how those issues play out, and why they might be some of the most difficult to talk about.
