Finances & Marriage

This week on The Mendoza Podcast: Finances & Marriage, we're joined by Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist Margie Wheelhouse for a deep dive into one of the most common—and complicated—sources of conflict in relationships: money.

Why do finances spark so many fights between couples? How can partners talk about money without it turning into a battle? Margie helps us unpack the emotional layers behind financial disagreements, offering practical tools for approaching these conversations with empathy, honesty, and respect.

Tune in as we explore:

• Why money is often more than just dollars and cents in relationships

• How to bring up financial concerns without triggering defensiveness

• The power of active listening in building trust and understanding

Whether you're newlyweds or decades into marriage, this episode offers insights to help you and your partner get on the same page—not just financially, but emotionally.
