When relationship partners are aligned about their financial goals and behaviors, this can promote a sense of peace in other aspects of their relationship as well. On the other hand, when differences arise between partners on money matters, stress and conflict can arise. For many couples, money issues are one of the most difficult topics to navigate. However, there are ways to navigate financial challenges in your relationship that can not only help you to reduce financial stress, but also help you connect more deeply with your partner and get on a path toward setting and achieving your shared financial goals.
This HRI Couples & Money Toolkit is designed to help you learn how to navigate financial challenges in a way that can become a springboard to growing a healthier relationship overall. We’ve developed the resources in this toolkit to help you reflect on your relationship, connect with your partner through deeper conversations, and build skills and resources to help you strengthen your relationship.

Some resources were adapted from a previous HRI online program created through a partnership between HRI and Family Service of the Piedmont’s (FSP) Consumer Credit Counseling Service program, and we are grateful for FSP’s earlier contributions to our Couples & Money-focused resources.
