Weeds & Wildflowers: What Every Couple Must Know to Grow a Love That Lasts

Money is not a subject I came to comfortably. Like most people, I grew up absorbing beliefs about it before I ever had the vocabulary to examine them. Like most marriages, ours had to unlearn a few of those beliefs together, sometimes at real cost. What three decades have taught me is that a couple's relationship with money is never really about the money. It's about safety, fairness, trust, and whether two people can build one shared vision out of two separate financial histories without either person disappearing into the other's.This book will not make you wealthy by itself. No book can. What it can do is what I have tried, chapter by chapter, to make it do - is give you and your partner a shared language for the conversations that build wealth and trust together, instead of the silence that quietly erodes both. If you take one thing from this note before you turn the page, take this: a couple that can talk honestly about money can talk honestly about almost anything else. That is the real harvest this book is planting toward.
