Couples relationships affects individuals and even the whole family. Our professional team provides information and practical tips on our services to prevent problems appearing among couples and enhance their relationships. When their relationships are on the rocks, we provide advice on solutions for their problems to ensure couples can learn and grow together.
I suggest you to share your concern with your husband; however, not to accuse him in an impolite manner. You need to control your emotions before starting conversation with him and let him feel that you understand his difficulty. For example, you can say “Our family has come across financial burden recently. Let us come up with some solutions.” In fact, there are many ways to solve financial problems. There is no point to complain each other.
Besides, you can let him know that different types of support is available in the community and encourage him to approach professionals for assistance. If your husband is not intended to find professionals to help, you can pro-actively turn to the Integrated Family Service Centre close to your home for help and discuss solutions to relieve your pressure.
In the long run, you can also consider visiting our Financial Education Centre to assess financial planning skills of your family.
