Is your bank account a sign of unbreakable trust or the battleground for a financial cold war? It’s the one question that can turn a loving partnership into a tense negotiation: should you combine your finances? In this episode, we're diving headfirst into the most controversial topic in money and relationships.

We're giving you the tools for peace, from the best budgeting apps for couples that can end the fighting, to the uncomfortable truth about prenuptial agreements. We'll also tackle the tough stuff: how to handle a major income disparity, the hidden dangers of financial infidelity, and why you must account for non-financial contributions.
