“Don’t Worry About a Thing, Dear” - Why Women Need Financial Intimacy examines the myths and cultural “truths” about marriage and money.Without financial intimacy in your marriage, you may feel angry, resentful, patronized, or invalidated by your husband. Sex, honesty, closeness, trust,parenting - your whole relationship will be affected because bad feelings don’t go away. They redistribute.

Financial intimacy creates financial transparency which means that your marital finances are an open book for each of you. That’s important because, once you say “I Do”, you become one-half of a legal and financial partnership. Whatever your husband is doing financially, you’re doing it too. You owe it to yourself to participate and understand your marital finances before you’re slammed with a crisis of widowhood or divorce.
