Let's Talk About Money

Let’s Talk about Money is a well-researched and needed guidebook for couples, more than half of whom consider themselves financially incompatible. Money problems often lead to breakups and divorce. Talking about money is laden with negative emotions and beliefs. Terry’s newest book will help couples overcome these obstacles, learn to understand themselves and each other, and better communicate about managing money. – Darlene Lancer, LMFT * Author of Codependency for Dummies; Dating, Loving, and Leaving a Narcissist, and Conquering Shame and Codependency *
If you’re putting off talking about money, I guarantee it’s because you know that you have different attitudes about finances and that’s going to end in recriminations, upset and strife. But you’re not alone, most couples fall into the ‘spender’ and ‘saver’ dynamic and it’s easy to think there is no middle ground. Fortunately, Terry Gaspard has lots of practical tools from her years working with couples which will help you find an ‘us against the problem’ mindset. – Andrew G. Marshall * Marital therapist, author of I Love You But I’m Not In Love With You, and host of “The Meaningful Life” podcast *

Using examples from interviews, Terry Gaspard helps couples learn to communicate more effectively and troubleshoot the challenges of finances. I highly recommend it! – Dr. Terri Orbuch (PhD) * Distinguished Professor, Therapist, and author of 5 Simple Steps to Take Your Marriage from Good to Great *
As a couples therapist, I know firsthand how often money becomes the silent third partner in a relationship—shaping choices, fueling arguments, and straining intimacy.

You can hire a financial advisor and you can seek marriage therapy. But getting effective financial guidance from an expert who truly “gets” why couples argue about money, and what they can do to break free of hurtful, dysfunctional fights, now this is a Godsend! As someone who has specialized in working with couples on the brink for decades, I can vouch for the fact that disagreements about finances are one of the leading causes of divorce.
