By January, they weren’t arguing about the credit card.
They were arguing about safety.
The holidays were beautiful.
Gifts. Trips. Big moments for the kids.
They told themselves, “We’ll figure it out later.”
Later sounded like raised voices in the kitchen.
“Why did you spend that much?”
“I just wanted everyone to be happy.”
“Do you even check the account?”
What looked like a money fight was really two nervous systems colliding.
One partner felt unsafe because the numbers didn’t add up.
The other felt unsafe because saying no felt like failing their family.
Both were scared—but speaking different emotional languages.
So the arguments got louder.
The silence got longer.
And the shame settled in.
Here’s the truth most couples miss:
Money fights aren’t about math.
They’re about security, trust, and survival.
At Freedom Life Therapy & Wellness, we help couples slow these moments down and understand what money represents for each of you—so fear doesn’t turn into blame, and stress doesn’t turn into distance.
✨ We are accepting new couples and individual clients
✨ We accept most major insurance plans
✨ Virtual sessions available
If money keeps becoming the battleground, it’s not because you’re bad with money.
It’s because something inside the relationship doesn’t feel safe yet.
And that’s something you can work through—together.
