October 6, 2006, Newsletter Issue #144: Money and Marital Satisfaction
Tip of the Week
In a recent dissertation project dealing with money in marriages Dr. Koutstaal found that for "both husbands and wives, financial satisfaction was positively related, while couples who struggled with finances had lower marital satisfaction." This suggests that couples who are financially satisfied may have less conflict.
Dr Koutstaal also found that husbands were more satisfied when they shared financial decision-making. This suggests that men who include their wives in the financial decision making may be more satisfied with their marriage.
