[quote=Anonymous]I think that you two are overdue for a discussion about money.  It sounds like you are doing a good job saving and you have a plan for money but each should have your own spending money for which you do not need to be accountable to the other party.  On the other hand, emergencies happen and there isn't always time to coordinate with your spouse.

For example, no refrigerator is pretty big problem in my opinion and I would send money asap.  No dishwasher?  Well, they have two hands for washing and two for drying.  No oven?  It depends. Do they have a microwave they can use instead then use that.  But if they are hosting Thanksgiving dinner then I would send the $.

OP, as others have said, you and your husband need to get on the same page.  You should read some of Michelle Singletary's old columns in the Washington Post about these issues.  She does a lot of work with her church on helping couples struggling with similar issues and she will frequently write about best practices for couples.[/quote]
