Short Abstract

This paper uses the NLSY and logistic regression to shed additional light on the question of the causes of spousal money arguments. The explanatory variables of financial behavior, birth order, and various demographic variables were used to determine their impact on spousal money arguments. Many of these variables such as financial behaviors, income, and birth order were in fact found to be significant. This study indicates what variables are significant, thus allowing practitioners to more effectively work with clients and help policymakers to better design programs to reduce financial discord in the marital relationship.
