from This Complex Life
Most couples have had the same money argument dozens of times without ever having the real conversation underneath it. Research shows that 58% of Australian couples report finances as a major source of conflict, and a study of over 5,500 couples found the pattern of the conversation predicted the outcome, not the financial situation.This episode covers:Why money fights are almost never about the moneyThe money stories we carry from childhood and how they shape every conversation about financesHow money becomes about power, identity and influence in a relationshipThe gendered lens we bring to money conversations and why it mattersQuestions to ask your partner to open the conversation rather than shut it downWhy curiosity before problem solving is the thing that actually changes thingsENROL NOW Relationship New Year RESET 2026https://marievakakis.com.au/relationship-new-year-reset-2026/Connect with Mariehttps://thetherapyhub.com.au/https://marievakakis.com.au/https://www.instagram.com/marievakakis/Submit a question to the Podcasthttps://forms.gle/nvNQyw9gJXMNnveY6
