Recent socioeconomic transformations have altered marital relationships, creating new models and requiring new skills to adjust affective relationships. Thus money management emerges as a basic aspect of understanding marital relationships. The purpose of this study is to understand the meaning that spouses attribute to money and its implications in the conjugal dynamics. For this, an exploratory qualitative study was carried out with five middle-class couples. The information collected was submitted to content analysis, and it showed that the meaning attributed to the money by the couples interviewed is intrinsically related to the model seized in their families of origin, causing conflicts to arise and requiring a negotiation exercise to preserve married life.

Palabras clave : Family of origin; marital conflict; finance.
