Money Together

Money is more than just money. Our money beliefs come from stories that begin long before you find your partner, and they aren’t quick to change just because you love someone. The ways we learn about money, spend it, save it, and worry about it reflect our identities, values, and deepest feelings. They are tethered to who we are.

This is why navigating money as a couple requires more than budgets and bank accounts. You have to see each other, through it all.


In Money Together, Heather and Douglas Boneparth explore love and money through five themes: Beginnings, Mistakes, Contribution, Power, and Risk. Building upon each other, these themes show couples how to work together to form an equitable, loving, and lasting financial future—with both partners at the table.


Along with their own stories, the authors rely on the stories of real couples, whose wins and losses are as sensitive, icky, complex, and affirming as you’d imagine them to be. With help from leading financial experts, couples’ therapists, psychologists, policy advocates, authors, and more, Heather and Douglas offer readers a fresh, human perspective on this taboo topic that leaves too much unsaid.


Each section ends with conversation starters to get you really talking about money. Together, the result is more than a money guide. It’s a movement for creating more powerful relationships, in which both partners are heard.
