[quote=Anonymous]A practical suggestion that worked for us. Sit down and set a budget that includes savings, trips, furniture everything. Once the budget it set, the money for furniture is set aside for you. (or whatever, in our case for some reason travel was a particular trigger). Once that is set you jointly make decisions on what you want/what is next, but you make the purchase he never sees the cost of any individual component and he does not get to complain. You also then have to stick to the joint budget. For my husband he would get hung up on the cost of, let's say, a hotel in a large city saying that it was "too much." I preferred to manage the budget for the trip overall, and if I could get a cheaper hotel in a smaller city and splurge elsewhere for a more luxurious experience I was happy. 
Many years later we both appreciate this approach.  I'm grateful for our savings and his role in demanding that and he likes luxury a little more than he knew he would.he really appreciates me encouraging us to spend there.[/quote]
