BOOK GIVEAWAY AND REVIEW: FIRST COMES LOVE, THEN COMES MONEY

Links provided in this post may be from affiliate programs which earns My Memphis Mommy a small commission. Thanks for clicking!

Bethany and Scott Palmer are known as "The Money Couple" and they have taken their financial sense and made it available for couples to help them learn to communicate financially in their book, First Comes Love, Then Comes Money: A Couple's Guide to Financial Communication (Harper Collins, 2009) Money issues are one of the leading reasons for why so many marriages end in divorce. So communication is key to hopefully avoiding some of those pitfalls, and knowing what to discuss is vital--First Comes Love, Then Comes Money is here to help you!

Here is the synopsis from the back of First Comes Love, Then Comes Money:

Happy Couples Know How to Talk About Money
The number one causes for divorce is financial infidelity. Now "The Money Couple" reveals the missing ingredient needed before any financial program or plan can work: healthy financial communication. This book tells you how to:
  • Diagnose your level of financial infidelity
  • Identify your individual Money Personality
  • Master the Money Huddle and the Money Dump
  • Achieve financial goals once and for all
I was given a copy of First Comes Love, Then Comes Money to read.

In my opinion, First Comes Love, Then Comes Money is a book for any couple that share financial responsibility--regardless of whether you are engaged to be married, or have been married for many years. This book walks you through how to have the financial talk and determine you and your significant others' money personality--saver, spender, risk taker, security seeker or flyer. In addition to the book, Bethany & Scott Palmer offer additional assistance on their website, The Money Couple, including a downloadable list of 20 questions you need to ask before you say 'I do.'
My husband I enjoyed reading this book and affirming money personalities. I think this book helps couples to have stories to relate to and guide them into discussing their finances! This book is a great investment especially if you are not even sure how to "have the money talk" with your spouse.

I am so excited to be able to giveaway a copy of this book!

I would love to win this book because financial matter have been a constant battle for myself and my fiance. We started our family a little earlier than expected and since then we have been pinching pennies trying to survive. It would be nice to have a professional outlook and resource to our never-ending money problems. We would love to finally afford to have the beautiful wedding we both want! :-)
