so you know finance sometimes tends to be seen as a romance killer right you just don't want to talk about it because it's awkward but what's some thoughts right of how couples can make space to have these conversations about money matters even during the dating period or the courting period
5:34
it's pretty interesting like what audrey was saying about the finance conversation involves a lot of context and background of the person and so on So quite a bit of this is the curiosity about the person in the background, right? Beyond what is today, like, you know, what's the history? Of course, some of it could be both joyful, sometimes challenging, but making space to delight in the process of this inquiry of who the person is, how they got there.
6:01
So we found that.
6:02
actually setting the spaces or if you're able to see this as part of the journey to then set the tone for the financial exploration then that's very powerful because at the end of the day the money is an expression of the person's context that background you know how they grew up and everything so i guess intentionally exploring some of these that's before the conversation actually starts right that's that but also i think setting the space for these discussions is important Setting the space and having the tools for how to engage in that dialogue is also important.
6:36
Well, I guess I'm not saying that we're perfect because we've learned the hard way throughout dating.
6:40
We've previously fought a lot before.
6:43
So by nature, we're both entrepreneurs.
