But accessing your values, your expectations, your preferences, that's the whole challenge that presents itself to you to find the balance that really makes sense for you when it comes to managing a common budget as a couple.
Some count every penny cautiously, others spend as they breathe; some want to compartmentalize everything, others to share everything.
These characteristics come from your relationship to money and property, very often inherited from our family baggage. We may have built ourselves with this baggage or against this baggage, but it always occupies an important place in our lives.
So where it all begins to manage a budget as a couple well and have a healthy functioning as a couple around what touches money, is by understanding your own relationship to money.
Take the time to understand where you come from on the subject of money to be able to better choose your mode of functioning. Understand your reflexes and identify your priorities. This introspection will help you define a financial approach that makes sense for you and your partner.
