Individuals often find it easier to discuss personal topics like sex rather than finances, highlighting the entrenched discomfort and stigma surrounding financial discussions.
The two studies by Peetz and Joseph (2024) reveal that integrated money motives lead to higher relationship satisfaction, while nonintegrated motives can damage relationships.
Integrated money motives, such as self-worth and pride, contribute positively to relationship satisfaction, whereas the desire for impulsive spending and superiority negatively impacts happiness.
Dissimilarity in money motives between partners not only correlates with financial stress but also diminishes overall happiness in a relationship.
