Summary: This book fills the void....
Comment: * * * * * FIVE STARS - EXCELLENT ! ! !
Given the importance that money plays in the harmony of a marriage, it's hard to think of a more important topic in either the aisle of books on Investments or the aisle on Relationships. Yet the topic seems to "get lost between the cracks" of these two gendres. This book fills the void by examining couples' attitudes toward money, by providing insight into the nature of our discourses, and by advising with much practical information and case-studies.
Reaching into her background as a psychologist, Victoria Collins believes that our attitudes towards money are rooted in our childhood. "Your financial life from cradle to Jr. High School deserves a second look", she suggests. The author also looks at other influences ranging from parents to church to contradictory expectations in the post woman's movement era.
But Couples & Money book does not over indulge in theorizing. It gets down to earth with worksheets, 10 essential truths, and numerous examples of real life financial counseling sessions. Most importantly for me, Collins deals with games men & women play vis a vis money. She gives advise for the most effective manner to address financial issues, using what she refers to as "MoneySpeak". Collins begins by asking "why does everyone find money so damn hard to talk about?" She then proceeds to advise couples how they can change their communication mode from one of confrontation to one of collaboration
An excellent book for couples wanting to get their money goals in-synch and, more importantly, wanting to improve their relationship. Victoria Collins' essential message is reflected in her comment: "As we all know, it (money) never really buys lasting freedom, security, love and power, but only a temporary facsimile of those states. To feel really free, secure, loving, and powerful requires emotional maturity, an integrated sense of personal value money cannot buy."
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!
