Last episode I talked about the benefits of having an open financial policy with your spouse in a marriage relationship or soon-to-be spouse when preparing for a lifetime relationship. It's a relief when the burden of undue expectations is taken off a partner, that's one of the benefits of having a mutual financial policy. On this episode, I'll be taking the conversation further. I'll be showing you an effective approach to creating an open financial policy. 

What does an open policy mean in context, regarding a romantic relationship? I share this and much more in this second episode in this ongoing series.

Last year we ran a poll, and we found something interesting. More people believe that finances is a greater problem in a relationship than infidelity. Can you believe it?

I often say this, concerning romantic relationships, "Talk, talk and talk!" Talk as exhaustively as possible, about everything! Intimacy isn't just about sex, it is your ability to be open and not feel constrained in expressing yourself. Today, I share with you conversations you should have to protect the longevity of your romantic relationships. What part of this podcast do you agree with or find issues with? I'd like to know

FACT-CHECK: Money is important in a relationship. TRUE. However, like every bad investment, learn to let a bad relationship go. Cut your losses and move, honorably 

 Finance is one of the major stressors in a relationship, particularly in marital relationships. Money is important in relationships, as it is one way to express affection and love, as other utilities are only serviced based on one's credit balance In this podcast, I talk in detail about the importance of financial intelligence and financial transparency in a relationship. I also stress, in clear terms, the timeliness of sourcing for legitimate avenues to generate income and boost finances

 What is the goal of a relationship?  Certainly, a subjective array of reasons abound, but being worse off than when you become a couple is definitely not one of those reasons. 

Relationships should make us better versions of ourselves; however, if you are becoming worse off than when you were single, then you should begin to consider calling your relationship quits. I discuss on this as well as other instances where you'll have to quit a relationship, and I also provide situations where you might just need to endure through a relationship.  All these right here. Join me.

How can you avoid flirting, especially if you are in a serious and secure relationship: 1. Be open with your partner. Talk as comfortably as possible about flirtatious conduct. 2.

 Relationships these days are not as conventional as they used to be. Serious but insecure relationships abound and the question of flirting as a pleasure ride is more acceptable. Flirting is a pleasure ride, with dopamine on the driver's seat. But is the destination worth the trip at all? Some people might ague that as long as one is not philandering, firting is fine, Do you agree? Join me on this episode as I discuss the matter of flirting
