Would you leave your relationship if your partner wasn’t doing what you thought was financially right?  If the answer is yes, your relationship is built on a shaky foundation. What if your partner’s medical bills used up all your savings – would you leave then? If you want to have a relationship that’s rock solid and if you want to know that the marriage will survive no matter what, you’ll need something greater to create financial harmony than just keeping separate bank accounts or saving for a rainy day.  In this episode of the Amazing Relationships Podcast, Peter and Jennifer Diepstraten discuss how to transcend the stress of money in marriage relationships and create a true partnership.  They get personal as they share about Peter’s spending habits and Jennifer’s saver ways to provide the help couples need to get past their differences about how money is spent, saved, and invested.
