Quotes to ponder:

"Money and finances are routinely sited as the number one topic couples fight about and one of the leading causes of divorce."

"It’s important to keep an open mind and be willing to compromise. The point isn’t “my way or the highway,” it’s “what works for us.”"

"Remember, it’s you two against the problem, not you two against each other."
