According to your textbook, the best way for married couples to avoid troublesome battles over money is probably to

A) engage in constructive communication regarding financial matters.
B) avoid discussions related to money.
C) assign responsibility for major financial decisions to one person exclusively.
D) consult on a regular basis with a financial planner.

Engaging in constructive communication regarding financial matters allows both partners to have a clear understanding of their financial situation, concerns, and goals. This can help prevent misunderstandings and conflicts in the future. Avoiding discussions related to money or assigning responsibility for major financial decisions to one person may lead to one partner feeling left out of the decision-making process, leading to resentment or distrust. While consulting with a financial planner can be helpful, it may not necessarily address underlying issues within the relationship.
