This article about a process for couples to understand how their spending aligns with their values struck me as potentially very powerful: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/10/your-money/setting-up-a-budget-based-on-your-values.html?mabReward=CTM&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&region=CColumn&module=Recommendation&src=rechp&WT.nav=RecEngine&_r=0.

Are any folks currently doing something like this and if so, have you found the effort to explore a 'third way' constructive for your relationship with your partner?

I like it, I'm going to try and do this with DW at the end of the month.
