This guide helps couples deal with one of the big challenges of married life-how to handle money.

He identifies five ways that individuals deal with money matters and outlines the positives and negatives of how different combinations may play out in a marriage. The second part of the book discusses the financial challenges and changes that couples face at different periods of their life together-courtship, saving and planning for their wedding, spending and saving money as a couple, and planning for a growing family. The third part of the book discusses emergencies, investment strategies, and retirement. This much-needed book is recommended for large public libraries with business collections, academic libraries, and bookstores.-Yolanda J. Cuesta, Cuesta MultiCultural Consulting, Sacramento, CA
