38% of respondents of a new survey say they’ve either committed financial infidelity or been a victim of it just in the past year.  This includes making major secret purchases, hiding debts or accounts, draining savings, or lending money without mutual consent.

Experts offer four tips to encourage a trusting financial relationship:

-Identify the problem together, face to face.

-Consider involving a pro, like a mental health and/or financial counselor

-Set up a budget that reflects your mutual priorities

-And, finally, engage in regular money dates! Time you set aside to talk about financial goals.
