The Couples Guide

To Financial Intimacy

 

The most comprehensive program for couples to stop fighting about money and transform their financial and intimate life.


The Couples Guide to Financial Intimacy is designed to move you from financial frustration to financial intimacy. Helping couples overcome overwhelm, stress, and not seeing eye-to-eye so they can move toward achieving their financial dreams together.

Can you and your partner relate?

 

In the early years you fell madly in love.

 

Now not seeing eye to eye on your finances is getting in the way of achieving your individual and shared dreams.  

 

You're ready for intimacy, connection, financial security, and success.

 

You may have experienced one of these scenarios...

  • You are having disagreements about spending and saving even though you're doing fine financially. Emotional outbursts shut down the conversation and communication dissolves.
  • Fears, mistakes, and mishaps from the past are impacting your current relationship. You may be keeping financial secrets (or fear your partner is) and want to develop more trust. 
  • Things don't feel fair financially and in the relationship, but you don't want to be disrespectful to your partner about their financial contribution.
     

You’re in the right place. 

 

The Couples Guide to Financial Intimacy™ will help guide you on a hero's journey to heal your relationship with yourself, your partner, and money.

What Are The Potential Harms To Your Shared Hero's Journey?  

 

Failing to build financial intimacy NOW with your partner may cost you in the FUTURE.

Here's what some of my past clients have said...

 

"This divorce is costing me my retirement, we just hit our peak earning years at 55 and now it is all gone." - Sam S. 

 

""I wish I would have known this 20 years ago, I would have all that compounding interest back and saved us from countless money fights. That would be hundreds of thousands of dollars." -  John. P

 

"I spent decades angry and resentful about her spending on the home shopping network. We wish our financial planner would have known it was a lot more than just getting her on a budget.  Now we realize the real problem was our relationship disconnection and pain from our pasts that blocked us." - Stan and Ann

 

 Weekly therapy or coaching can cost upwards of $250 per week. In 6-months that’s $6000.

That’s the cost if you go to therapy. When you neglect to develop financial intimacy and a deeper understanding in your relationship it can sometimes lead to divorce.

The average cost of a divorce in the U.S. is nearly $13,000.

...and that only covers lawyers and proceedings, not the division of assets and the breaking down of the wealth you’ve both spent your lives working to build.

 This program will save you money, time, and strife both personally and in your relationship.

Still Making Up Your Mind? 

You should give The Couples Guide to Financial Intimacy a 30-day risk-free try if you are motivated by the following:

 

  • You want your relationship back... like... really badly.
  • You know your life and finances feel out of control. You want to restore hope and joy.
  • You want to feel competent and capable in your intimate relationship and finances. You are great at what you do in your work life, but this is the area that still needs care and help.
     

 

Let’s be honest, I created this course for the person I used to be...

...both way back in 2006 when I just got married and even just a few short years ago when we were dealing with dramatic changes in our financial reality. I would have loved to know what I know now back then. It would have saved so much heartache and countless amounts of money.

I am excited to share what I know both personally and professionally about living a financially intimate life.

I know you are capable of great things. I have worked with many people like you who have overcome the odds, worked hard, and have more success than they ever imagined and yet it has left them wanting.

Let’s go on this heroic journey of fostering financial intimacy together.

A Final Note From Ed:

You have big hopes and a vision for your relationship no matter where you stand with your partner and money.

You may be starting this journey from a place of deep despair and hopelessness, numbness, conflict, and defeat.

You might be neutral and have some hope that you can make some progress.

Maybe you have been working on your relationship for some time and this is the next stage of growth in your relationship.

No matter where you are on this journey, what I share with you in this course will help you transform your relationship with yourself, your partner and money.

You are not alone.

 

It doesn’t have to be that way. 

You can reduce the frequency, intensity, and recovery time from money disagreements.  Building and sustaining financial intimacy is a lifelong journey and one so worth taking. 

  • It will show up in the little moments like when you take the garbage and recycling out with your wife and you walk back to the house arm and arm with a shared sense of gratitude. 
  •  
     It will also mean that you can look back over your relationship and recognize the challenges, setbacks and fights you have had and what you learned from those painful points along the journey of financial intimacy. 

I have spent my life helping people. Whether it was teaching little kids to swim (no small feat), running into burning buildings as a firefighter, or now as a couples therapist specializing in financial therapy. 

I help people move through scary obstacles into a better, more stable, and more satisfying life. That's why I work with couples and finances. I believe that when couples get on the same page with money and communicate better with each other about their hopes, dreams, fears, and anxieties they create a rock solid foundation for a lifetime of happiness, love, and financial prosperity.

I look forward to having you join me on this journey of transformation.

I can’t wait to see you in The Couples Guide to Financial Intimacy. 

-Ed
