Dave says on The Dave Ramsey Show that, if enough bad things happen to you, your life sounds like a country song. Hip hopper Marshall Mathers may not be country, but he and his ex-wife Kim are singing the blues right now, see? They've split up more times than a piece of wood at the lumber yard, but the Eminem song meister and his dame agreed to not talk trash about each other in public for the sake of their little girl, Hailie.

Every relationship in this crazy world has something that can make it uglier than a blind date with a good personality. For most joes and jills, it's money. Learning how to make a budget and paying off consumer debt can be the first step to getting things back on track. Once you get on the same page, it will spread to other areas of your life. Sit down with your spouse tonight and start talkin', baby. It makes all the difference in the world.
