DIVA’S TABLE TOPIC: Should couples split costs?

WORD OF THE DAY: Nonversation- A completely worthless conversation, wherein nothing is illuminated, explained or otherwise elaborated upon. Typically occurs at parties, bars or other events where meaningful conversation is nearly impossible.

Ex. I had the most painful nonversation with my girlfriend's ignorant bigoted father.

DIVA TABLE TOPIC: Should couples split costs?

Stats:

MarketWatch.com: Certified financial planner John Bodnar, founder of Bodnar Financial Advisors in Florham Park, N.J., says that “there is no right or wrong way” to do this, “only the way that works for you both.” He adds: Some couples are more comfortable splitting it 50-50, and others decide paying bills based on a percentage of income is fair. You figure this all out, he says, by having “ a respectful, two-sided discussion” about how to handle your expenses.

SCRIPTURE: 2 Corinthians 9:7 ESV

Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
