DINING WITH NADIVA  Season 2 Ep. 11   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 a meaningful conversation is nearly impossible.  Ex. I had the most painful conversation with my girlfriend's ignorant bigoted father.    FEATURED RESTAURANT: A Taste of Island Spice 1287 TEANECK ROAD TEANECK, NJ 07666 (201) 833-8017www.atasteofislandspicenj.com Owners: Raymond and Nicole Hardy    DISHES:  Oxtails Jerk Chicken Rice and Peas Steamed Cabbage Sweet Plantains        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.  #NadivaShow #Interview #LiveShow #painfulConversation
