Marriage is often seen as a union built on love, trust, and shared dreams. But for many couples, money becomes the focal point, sometimes overshadowing emotional connection. If you find yourselves talking more about bills than about your future together, it’s worth asking: Are you in a marriage or just a financial partnership? This question matters because your approach to money can shape the health of your relationship. Understanding the distinction can help you strengthen your bond—or realize you have work to do.
