World Today News cites recent Beyond Finance survey findings in its feature story Financial Alignment & Work Satisfaction: A Couple’s Link.
“Financial intimacy, characterized by vulnerability and trust in discussing money matters, is crucial to fostering this alignment,” writes Technology Editor Rachel Kim. “Sharing ‘money stories’ — personal histories and attitudes toward finances — can increase empathy and collaboration within a relationship. According to a recent Beyond Finance survey, 43 percent of married couples report being able to handle financial disagreements effectively, suggesting that open communication is a key component of success.”
Beyond Finance’s Chief Financial Wellness Advisor, Dr. Erika Rasure, frequently contributes to media outlets and organizations on the topic of “financial intimacy” between couples. She recently partnered with Blue Star Families to lead a webinar for active military service member on easy tips to set up a “financial date night” to further their collaborative communications.
