Money is such a personal and private matter. It is too confronting for most couples to deal with. Do you tell the truth about how much that dress or power tool really cost? Does your partner know how much you earn? Are you prepared to talk in detail and your partner is not? What happens after the honeymoon period, when you begin to realise that you have different financial ideas and styles? Is this the beginning of deep secrets creeping into your relationship? Conflict within the most committed relationship may surface by keeping individual finances separate and non negotiable just as it might also emerge from muddling it [money] altogether into one murky pool. Author and Public Accountant Rana Jewell has always been fascinated by people’s relationship with money. This and personal experiences inspired her to embark on a Master of Counselling research thesis asking: Couples with financial difference: can a saver and spender live in harmony? Unforeseen at the beginning was that Rana and her partner Paul would become the centre of this study. “While it helped us to a great degree, we wanted more. In our search for professional help, we did not find any person trained in both financial and relationship counselling. Where do couples go when financial stress is causing conflict? I wanted to know. This book is part of my search for answers.” “Our story is very frank and, at times, raw but is ultimately a positive and uplifting journey of two loving and committed individuals learning to understand and respect our financial (and other) differences. We laugh more and seek out ways to harness our strengths to achieve shared and individual goals.” “Paul and I sincerely hope that you are able to use our journey as a platform to discover your own truths, differences and creative solutions.” View the press release as published in the Daily Mercury Newspaper; an article published in the Queensland Brides magazine or readers comments to purchase a copy For customers within Australia, please click the 'Buy Now' button to order and pay (via PayPal).
