We on the path to frugal living. When my wife wants to spend I remind her that it will come out of our house fund, something she wants more than anything.

Not to preach Dave Ramsey, but I think his Financial Peace University, or his one-day seminars, can do wonders for couples who are butting heads about money. It can really help get a couple on the same page. Another thing is, the more financially savvy partner should be cautioned against pushing their spouse out of their comfort zone too quickly. These things take time, patience and sensitivity. The couple needs to learn and walk together through their problems. The first comment is evidence of that: "I have asked her several times to get financially educated and responsible with no action ever being taken." He should be walking ALONGSIDE her on their journey, not expecting her to just catch up to him.

Ivillage has a pretty good Debt Support message board. Of course a lot of the cases both partners don't see eye to eye in spending habits, so some support can be found on that as well.

Going to your pastor or an actual counselor is a good place to start. For finding information on help with an addiction calling your insurance company or even church would be a place I would start.

I think this is a really good idea. Fortunately, Mr. Micah is onboard with my debt reduction/finance stuff, even helped out with the NetworthIQ. He wouldn't be this organized on his own, but he's not actively destructive. But I've known other couples like the ones who wrote to you. Kudos for wanting to help them out! Wow.

It's very difficult to get out of debt when your efforts are undercut by the ones you're closest to. I can't recommend any resources, but I could use some help myself on this, so I really appreciate you asking your audience. After seeing your post, I've posted a request for info on my blog, so will forward to you any information I get. I’ve had problems with my partner’s debt, so I can certainly relate.
