Financial intimacy

It matters.

I decided to take this online quiz and am very happy with the results. :)

HERE’S THE RESULTS
The letter with the largest score reveals your partner’s primary money traits.

LETTER SCORE TRAIT
A 0 penny pincher
B 0 spendthrift
C 0 gambler
D 0 financial wreck
E 6 financial catch

Okay, so what to do with this information? Start talking. If you are poles apart you need to see where you can find the common ground. I don’t care how in love you are now, or how much you insist it doesn’t matter that you are a financial catch and your partner is a financial wreck. It does matter. A lot. And the longer you are together, the more it is going to matter. Disagreements over money, a failure to have a united financial game plan, are among the biggest factors in busted relationships.

But I also want to remind you to be patient. If you are financial opposites you are not going to resolve your differences in one conversation. Over the course of many conversations where you can both express your own concerns and also truly hear your partner’s concerns you can begin to find a place of common ground. Of compromise. Financial intimacy takes time and effort.

Irony of Love

I found this online and agree with it.

Greatest Irony of love.

"The greatest irony of love;
loving the right person at the wrong time,
having the wrong person when the time is right
and finding out you love someone right after
that person walks out of your life...

and sometimes, you think you're already over a person,
but when you see them smile at you,
you'll suddenly realize that you're just pretending
to be over them just to ease the pain of knowing that
they will never be yours again...

for some, they think that letting go is one way
of expressing how much they love that person...
in my opinion, some are afraid to see the one they love
being held by someone else...

most relationships tend to fail not because
the absence of love. Love is always present.
Its just that one was being loved too much and the
other was being loved too little...

as we all know that the heart is the center of the body
but it beats on the left. Maybe that's the reason
why the heart is not always right...

most often we fall in love with the person we think we love
but to only discover that for them
we are just for passing time. while the one who truly
loves us remains either a friend or a stranger...

so here's a piece of advice;
let go when you're hurting too much.
give up when love isn't enough.
and move on when things are not like before...

For sure there is someone out there
WHO Will LOVE YOU EVEN MORE..."
