Money habitudes Print E-mail

This evening program is designed to assist couples explore their habits and attitudes towards how money is managed in their lives and the values that underpin this.

This is a one night program in addition to a Marriage Education Program. It is for all couples, those preparing for marriage or those already married.

With the use of Money Habitudes Cards couples will be able to:

  • develop an awareness about their habits and attitudes about money
  • highlight their strengths and challenges regarding managing money in the relationship.
  • discuss money in a supportive and fun setting.
  • explore the possibility of changing a ‘habitude’.

A spouse is more than a friend and more than a roommate. A spouse is, among other things, a financial partner.

Attitudes can best be described as automatic thoughts and feelings that we have as soon as we see or hear something. Attitudes are usually connected to our value system.

Habits are automatic behaviours that we have in response to an attitude.

So the result is – “Habitudes†– the automatic feeling and response to money.

Couples individually play the card game and have a series of questions to discuss. There are several opportunities to stop and write questions to take home for further discussion.

At times it may be challenging. Couples often share their similarities and differences which is a lot of fun!

Conflicts about money are inevitable; what matters is how the two of you handle those conflicts.

Here are a couple of questions for you to discuss with your partner:

  • What do the words ‘rich’ and ‘poor’ mean to you?
  • What messages about money did you receive growing up?
