The financial love language builds on the original gifts love language. The original one was about receiving presents, like jewelry, vacations, clothing and chocolates. However, the new financial love language is about so much more. If this is your love language, you feel loved when you see your partner making financial moves that are for the betterment of both of your lives. So this could mean you see them putting aside money for a down payment on a home, or cutting back on spending on certain personal items to afford more shared experiences.

While the original gifts love language implied a sort of separation of finances, this new financial love language is about making financial choices together. A study published in the American Psychological Association shows that couples who pool their finances are more likely to stay together, and see themselves are more of a unit, rather than two separate entities.
