One of the areas I love to read about is the area of marriage and family. I have quite an extensive library on these subjects, and am always looking for more great resources in both areas. So when I saw a book that dealt with finances, and how it impacts a marriage, I was instantly interested.
However, I was in for a disappointment. Your Money, Your Marriage had all the potential of being a great asset and help, but it fell far short of that mark. The book was full of what I’m sure were supposed to witty remarks, but felt more like inside jokes and sly innuendo. It got to the point where I dreaded picking it back up, fearing what I might find as I read on.
However, I hate to leave a book unfinished, in the hopes that it might turn around and offer something beneficial, so I plodded on, continuing to read along. I’m sure that some people will love the style in which this is written, probably even gaining a lot from it. I found nothing that I felt was inaccurate or wrong, I just could not relate to the manner in which it was put forth.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this book. There are better books and programs out there, on the subjects of both money and marriage. I’d begin with those, and go from there. In fact, I’d venture that there are even some books that wed the two topics together well.
