According to several new studies, having a joint bank account with your partner increases happiness in the relationship.
Evidence suggests that couples who combine their money in a joint account are happier than those who don’t—and stay together longer.
The theory is that when you pool your finances, it enables you to have more transparency in your relationship in terms of how much money you have and how it’s being spent.
While sharing resources can lead to conflict, it might also drive conversations.
It makes the couple feel that they are on the same team.
