Everyone knows that those people who have money, gain political and economic influence. In interpersonal relations the same principle operates. Control over money can be used for both good and bad. How money is used in the family often reflects the true essence of the relationship between people.

In some cases, one of the partners may refuse to participate in the distribution of funds within the family. This can be caused by various reasons. Sometimes one of the partners wants to maintain financial independence and spend their money only on what it considers necessary, regardless of whether such a state of affairs is pleasant to another partner. On the other hand, one of the spouses is simply afraid to take responsibility for managing the family budget and do not mind giving this opportunity to another. There are many more options.

Unhealthy attitude to money within the family implies situations when one of the partners keeps the other in the dark about financial issues, when one of them hides his income, or if one of the spouses is forced to sign financial documents while he does not understand the significance of these actions and does not understand aware of their consequences. If it is a question of managing a company, sometimes in the resolution of key issues, third parties may be involved without the knowledge of shareholders or beneficiaries.
In the confidential relations between partners there is full openness regarding financial information, both partners want to participate in the planning and allocation of funds, all of their goals are coordinated and achieved through joint decisions based on the overall family budget. Ideally, both spouses should strive for the same level of financial literacy.
