The current study uses symbolic interaction theory to examine how one’s involvement in financial decision-making and their satisfaction is related to relationship satisfaction. The results from this study indicate that whether couples make decisions jointly or not is nearly as important as the level of satisfaction they have with their involvement in financial decision-making process. The findings suggest implications for educators, financial therapists, and other professionals working with couples and their financial issues, as well as opportunities for further research in this area.en-USFinancial decision-making involvementRole satisfactionFinancial decision-making role satisfactionRelationship satisfactionDoes it matter who makes the financial decisions?
