You've heard it said that money is the root of all evil. The actual quote (from the Bible by the way) is "the love of money is the root of all evil." (1 Timothy 6:10). But how does this affect your relationship? Ironically, it can be a killer on both ends of the spending spectrum. If one of you is really frugal (pronounced cheap), to the point of not spending money on necessary items, or withholding funds as a manner of control - this will definitely kill a relationship. Conversely, if one person in the relationship has a spending problem, is constantly running up unmanageable debt, particularly if he or she hides or lies about big purchases, it can really impact the long term relationship, add stress and cause a lack of trust.
Money management in your relationship doesn't just happen. You need to communicate with each other, come to an understanding and work out the approach that makes the most sense.
