With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we pause this month to recognize that special relationship in our lives. Some of you may be feeling excited planning for a nice evening together while others may be separated from your loved one due to training or deployment.
Either way, communication is key in building a strong link whether together or apart. The topic of money can be a source of stress in a relationship. My mantra is couples who budget together, stay together! 😊 This month’s blog offers tools and resources to build trust and communication with your partner — working together to achieve your goals.

Thank you,
Mandi Moynihan is a CFP® professional who has been with MilSpouse Money Mission since its inception. She also served in the Army and is the spouse of a retired service member.
