Description

Financial well-being is a multifaceted concept that is influenced by various factors, including individual and relational dynamics. While households are indeed vital to understanding economic dynamics, they often do not provide sufficient insight into the complex decision-making processes of romantic partners. In light of this, the chapter places its focus squarely on romantic partners as the primary unit of analysis within households, considering romantic partners to be the building blocks of the households. This chapter seeks to address a critical aspect of financial well-being by focusing on the complex dynamics of financial behaviors within romantic partnerships. By delving into the unique challenges and opportunities faced by couples in managing their finances, this chapter strives to bridge the gap by summing the current state of our knowledge proposes a comprehensive conceptual model to elucidate the factors affecting financial behaviors and, consequently, financial well-being among romantic partners. 2024, IGI Global.
