Today’s Topic: A Conversation About Money

This episode is the last in our series of dates as we go through the exercises in John Gottman's new book, Eight Dates, in order to test our relationship and see how connected we are. This week, we are talking about our mindsets around money, how we grew up thinking about money, and some of our best money memories. The point is to learn more about each other and also identify the blind spots we may have picked up in our life.
