Money talks.
Are you listening?
Love is a practice.
So is money.
Fair isn't always even.
Providing is more than earning money.
You deserve a love greater than riches.
You know the facts.
But do you know the stories?
Building a life costs more than money.
It's not who makes more—
it's what you make together.
Are you listening? Love is a practice.

But do you know the stories? Building a life costs more than money. It's not who makes more—
it's what you make together.
As Seen In
Money is more than just “money.”
In Money Together, Heather and Douglas Boneparth help couples in every era of their lives approach money with greater fairness, sustainability, respect, and love.
Our money beliefs come from stories that begin long before you find a partner, and they aren’t quick to change just because you love someone. The ways we handle it reflect our identities, values, and deepest feelings. They are tethered to who we are.
This is why navigating money as a couple requires more than setting up budgets and bank accounts. You have to learn how to see it all. You have to learn how to see each other.
They do this through short stories from their own lives, as well as from dozens of couples whose experiences are as real as they get. With help from leading financial experts, couples therapists, psychologists, policy advocates, and more, Money Together offers readers a fresh, human perspective on a taboo topic that leaves too much unsaid.
This book is more than a money guide—it’s a movement for creating powerful relationships with both partners at the table.

Finances are a major cause of couple conflict and one of the top reasons couples seek therapy. Heather and Douglas Boneparth’s Money Together is a wise and comprehensive guide, helping couples better understand their relationship with money (individually and together) and giving them the tools they need to avoid fiscal fiascos and work together in the name of love. I can’t wait to recommend this book to my clients and students.
