Financial Infidelity

An acclaimed couples therapist gives expert advice on how to handle the most common problem in committed relationships

Financial infidelity is the #1 problem in relationships. Secret credit cards, binge shopping, revenge spending, financial power plays, and hidden bank accounts are just a few examples of how money can be used to harm a relationship. In Financial Infidelity, Dr. Bonnie, one of the nation’s leading couples therapists, is the first to offer effective solutions to this pervasive relationship threat, enabling readers to:

• Assess the true cost of financial infidelity
• Understand how buying, rewarding, or controlling behavior with money can open the door to lies, betrayals, and affairs
• Understand how childhood relationships to money and love can create damaging emotional links
• Separate the value of their relationship from the value of their bank account
• Disconnect from harmful emotional and financial behaviors in order to reconnect with their partner

Financial Infidelity will open readers’ eyes to the connections between money, sex, and love, as it helps them understand how to handle the hidden financial problems in a relationship and heal the inevitable emotional fallout. Dr. Bonnie has a near one hundred percent success rate in counseling her patients—this book is the next best thing to a session with the doctor herself!
