Re: Review of Mort Fertel's Marriage Fitness Program
I finished the CDs and I found a lot of very helpful advice. My husband started listening, he got about half through (hoping he will finish)... anyway we are implementing some of these ideas. One huge one for us is that "business" type things should just be handled once a week....i.e. discussing bills & finances and other business like things necessary in a marriage. We also run a business. One thing that we discovered is that when we first were married my husband did not want to deal with anything related to finances. I handled all of it. Somewhere maybe even 10 years ago he no longer wanted to be in the dark but he wouldn't say anything. It gave him stress to not know and I was stressed being the one person who had to handle all these things. Neither of us talked about it. He finally said something, I was really surprised. Anyway, I'm happy to share those responsibilities with him but bringing him up to speed will take awhile (as I also handle the books in our business as well). We're going to start this week with the "business meetigs" in which for an hour or maybe 90 minutes we'll start going over these things and handline more financial decisions together. We always handled major purchase decisions together but things like how much should we pay on a credit card etc. was always up to me. Anyway that was just one thing but we got several out of it. It was worth the money we spent.
