Relationship coach: couples advised to create household budget

It’s almost football season, and in my house, that means, I don’t get near the remote control on Sundays. In fact, I don’t even bother making plans. I mean, how dare I plan a lunch with friends even when the Chicago Bears are on a bye week?

But for all the other days of the week and year, agreeing on simple things such as what to watch on TV can sometimes make or break a couple. Throw in factors such as money and you might as well give yourself a time out.

That’s why it’s important for couples to identify the key money factors that could potentially ruin an otherwise quiet Sunday.

The Frisky.com chats with Toni Coleman, licensed psychotherapist, relationship coach and founder of Consum-mate.com, to learn how couples can create a household budget that allows both parties to watch what they, want when they want.
