Managing finances with your spouse can be both rewarding and fraught with challenges. For many working women, sharing financial responsibilities seems like a natural step in building a life together.

I'm not usually the one for self-help books, but I picked up "Option B" by Sheryl Sandberg, the Chief Operating Officer of Facebook, by chance at the airport bookstore, and I'm glad I did. The book, published in 2017, is a first-hand narrative of how Sandberg coped with grief and loss after she lost her husband, Dave Goldberg, in a tragic accident.
