A Note from Hope Katz Gibbs, author, “Why Divorce: 5 Reasons to Leave” — Welcome to today’s episode of the Why Divorce Show — a podcast and video show dedicated based on my book project that is on a mission to helping people understand the 5 reasons to leave a marriage, and when to stay. The published book is coming soon. In the meantime, we are collecting case studies of the 5 reasons (abuse, adultery, addiction, abandonment, and angst) and interviewing experts on topics that will help traverse the process of divorce.

We know you are going to learn a lot from today’s guest: The Couples Financial Coach, Adam Kol. He’ll talk today about the #1 mistake couples make when it comes to managing their money and the top myths around relationships and money.

Our interview questions include

  • What is the #1 mistake couples make when it comes to love and money?
  • What are some top myths around this issue?
  • Is there a better choice: joint accounts or separate accounts?
  • And the age-old challenge: My partner and I have different values and experiences with money, so what do we do about this? And, the big question of the day — what should couples do with their through the coronavirus pandemic?

About Adam: “I help couples make sure that the money conversation doesn’t get in the way, leading to more peace, love, and cash,” says the Financial Advisor who received his law degree from Duke and his MA in tax from NYU. “My mission is to bring an equity and social justice lens to my work.” Learn more: CouplesFinancialCoach.com.
