Nobody on a first date asks about money scripts. But according to Dr. Kristine Anthes, that silence is where relationships start breaking down. In this follow-up conversation with Rick Kahler, Kristine gets into the mechanics of IFS-informed matchmaking — how she prepares clients before a date, debriefs them after, and slowly brings money into the conversation through values rather than net worth. Rick shares his own story of insisting on a prenup, watching parts take over the negotiation, and ending up without one. The real insight isn't about what someone earns or owns — it's about psychological flexibility, whether a person's money parts are rigid or can bend. Two people with identical net worth can still be financially incompatible. Two people with different financial pictures can thrive. What actually predicts the relationship is what's running underneath the numbers.
