67: Money Talks: Follow the Same Path

Money fights are one of the most common breaking points for couples, but they do not have to be. In this episode of Conversations for Couples, Julie and David Bulitt sit down with Dee Zimmerman, a financial relationship coach and money communication expert who blends Gottman informed communication tools with practical financial strategies to help couples manage money together, and manage it peacefully.

Dee walks through why money is so hard to talk about in the first place (hint: it starts with the different families we grew up in), how the Four Horsemen of criticism, contempt, defensiveness and stonewalling show up in money conversations, and how her Wealth Partnership Pathway helps couples build emotional safety before they ever look at a spreadsheet. Julie and David also open up about their own early struggles with debt and how working through it together made their marriage stronger.
