Talking about money can (and should) be part of a relationship. How about turning it into a light, romantic and productive moment?

Introduction

If there is a “date at the movies”, “date in the park” and even a “date with pizza and a series”, why not create one? financial date? It doesn’t have to be boring — quite the opposite. Planning together can be a gesture of care, maturity and even emotional connection.

This type of date is perfect for couples who already have plans, live together, or want to get out of “partying” mode and think long-term. And believe me: Financial alignment is a great aphrodisiac when done in partnership.

1. What is a “financial date”?

It's a private moment, like a date, but with the focus on looking together at the financial side of the relationship. This includes:

• Set goals together (travel, shopping, saving)
• Review expenses, habits and priorities
• Talk about debts, investments or future plans

2. How to prepare for this meeting?

• 🕯️ Create a light environment: it can be at home, with something to drink, music and paper + pen or spreadsheet.
• 💬 Start with gentle questions: “What do you dream of doing next year?”, “What would we like to build together?”
• 📊 Bring numbers clearly, but without judgment. The focus is to align — not to accuse.

3. What to discuss on the “financial date”?

• Monthly expenses or couple's routine
• Short, medium and long term goals
• Possible budget cuts or improvements
• Common dreams: travel, home, projects

4. Tools that can help

Simple spreadsheets, financial control apps, notes on paper or even goal boards with collages (to make it more fun and inspiring).

5. When to do it?

The ideal is once a month or every new planning cycle. It can become a tradition for the couple — like a “love and money check-in.”

Quick summary

• 📆 Reserve an exclusive moment for the theme
