Many couples fight over what belongs to each one, their debts, each other’s spending, or how much money they should give to their children. Very often, these arguments center around control. Many people believe that they are more financially savvy than their partner, who is more to blame for their money difficulties than they are. What is the best solution to avoid a fight about money?
