by It’s well-documented that couples in long term relationships often have a hard time staying grounded in their relationship when they cross the salary gap. And while it may be difficult at times, one way to cultivate your partner’s support is by making sure that you are giving them no reason to question whether or not your relationship will last.
The idea of a cross-cheque is a two-for-one that’s sent to your partner for the month. In order for it to be effective, you and your partner must agree on what the first check represents, so that there is no confusion from the outset.
On your partner’s side, it’s best to agree on something as simple as “date night” or a vacation that you both deserve. Anything that is a reflection of the relationship will work. On your side, make sure you choose a date that is significant to both of you and comes at a time that affords time for one another.
