Marquess shares the story of how he and his wife met, how they knew they were meant to be, and how they’ve worked through their money management differences. At first, they argued a lot. Then they figured out how to handle things more constructively. Marquess and I have a fabulous discussion on how money factors into a couple’s decisions and how each of us have our own values attached to how we budget, save, and spend. We also cover how pride and our egos so often get in the way of a productive discussion.
A lovely quote which Marquess learned and shares with us is, “You’re winning the argument, but you’re losing me.” He also reminds us to have grace with ourselves and not to compare to other couples, but to walk our own path together.
