Communicating About Money in Relationships

Misunderstandings and disagreements about money within relationships is common and ranks as one of the top two areas of conflict between partners. Constructive and satisfying conversations about money in relationships requires that both parties understand how they learned about money and develop a clear sense about their own ’money personality’.

Join John Gaspari, Executive Director of the Center for Work and Family Life who will lead a two session workshop designed to help participants:

  • Understand the role that money plays in their life
  • Identify their own ‘money personality’
  • Clarify their money goals and motivations
  • Improve their ability to communicate about money matters in their relationship

This is a two session workshop. Space is limited.
