Share
Who This Mini Program Is For
This program is for couples who:
- Argue about money
- Feel stressed or disconnected financially
- Have different spending or saving habits
- Want peace, clarity, and teamwork with money
- Are rebuilding after debt, financial mistakes, or life changes
You do not need to be wealthy.
You just need a willingness to communicate and follow simple steps.
Introduction: Why Money Causes Conflict
Money is one of the top causes of stress in relationships — not because couples are bad with money, but because they never learned how to talk about it together.
Different backgrounds, habits, fears, and expectations collide:
- One partner saves, the other spends
- One avoids money, the other obsesses over it
- One feels controlled, the other feels overwhelmed
This mini program is designed to help you replace tension with teamwork.
How This Mini Program Works
- Short, practical lessons
- Simple exercises you can complete together
- No shame, blame, or lectures
- Focus on peace, communication, and clarity
You can complete this program in 7 days or take it at your own pace.
🧩 MODULE 1: Reset the Money Conversation
Goal: Create a safe, judgment-free space to talk about money.
Key Concepts:
- Money disagreements are usually emotional, not mathematical
- Listening is more important than fixing
- You’re on the same team
Exercise: The Money Check-In
Each partner answers:
- What does money represent to me? (Security, freedom, stress, control?)
- What is my biggest money fear?
- What is my biggest financial hope for us?
👉 Rule: No interrupting. No correcting. Just listening.
🧩 MODULE 2: Understand Each Other’s Money Styles
Goal: Replace frustration with understanding.
Common Money Styles:
- The Saver
- The Spender
- The Avoider
- The Controller
Neither style is wrong — conflict happens when styles clash without communication.
Exercise: Money Style Awareness
- Identify your style
- Identify your partner’s style
- Discuss how each style helps AND hurts the relationship
🧩 MODULE 3: Create Shared Financial Priorities
Goal: Align on what actually matters.
Instead of arguing about purchases, focus on shared goals:
- Stability
- Debt freedom
- Home ownership
- Travel
- Family security
Exercise: Top 5 Money Priorities
Each partner lists their top 5 financial priorities.
Circle overlaps.
These shared priorities become your decision filter.
🧩 MODULE 4: Build a Simple Couples Budget (No Stress)
Goal: Create clarity without control.
A budget is not punishment — it’s permission.
Simple Budget Rules for Couples:
- Bills first
- Savings second
- Guilt-free spending last
- Personal spending allowances are healthy
Exercise: Budget Basics
- List household income
- List fixed expenses
- Agree on savings goals
- Assign personal spending amounts (no questions asked)
🧩 MODULE 5: Debt, Transparency & Trust
Goal: Remove secrets and rebuild trust.
Money secrets destroy peace faster than debt itself.
Exercise: Full Financial Transparency
Together, list:
- Debts
- Balances
- Interest rates
- Minimum payments
Choose ONE debt strategy:
- Snowball (motivation)
- Avalanche (save interest)
👉 Progress matters more than speed.
🧩 MODULE 6: Monthly Money Meetings
Goal: Prevent future arguments.
15-Minute Monthly Check-In Agenda
- Review last month (no blame)
- Celebrate wins
- Adjust upcoming expenses
- Reaffirm shared goals
Consistency creates safety.
🌱 MODULE 7: Long-Term Money Peace
Goal: Stay united even during hard seasons.
Money peace is built through:
- Honesty
- Patience
- Grace
- Consistent communication
You won’t always agree — but you can always respect each other.
Final Thoughts
Money peace doesn’t come from earning more.
It comes from working together.
This mini program isn’t about perfection.
It’s about progress, partnership, and peace.
