Dr Pesa: 5 financial tips couples should never ignore

I am a husband in my mid-twenties, only been married about one and a half years. Everything is working fine and our marriage is truly blissful except, we cannot agree on finances. For instance, I want a joint account, but she doesn’t. My wife prefers to keep her money for herself and as the man, I am under pressure to provide.
