My wife and I don't discuss finances much and it is always a source of tension. I handle the household monthly expenses and my wife pays the grocery, clothing and other bills.
I do try to bring up and discuss our finances but the problem I face is that my wife does not understand concepts like net worth, emergency funds, and retirement and has no desire to understand them. Frankly, she get very upset when she see's our IRA balance and fights me tooth and nail to cash it out.
In my case the less she see's the better.
