Daniel Rodriguez — Tue, 29 May 2018 19:29:38 +0000

By Daniel Rodriguez | Dr. Budgets Finances are the leading cause of stress in a relationship, so naturally, this is an area where couples should want to get on the same page with each other. Many couples have told me, “money is the only thing we fight about.” Often, these couples don’t need couple’s counseling, they need couple’s money coaching!
