Abstract: This study addresses a notable research gap by introducing the eight-item Couple Financial Conflict Scale (CFCS), designed to measure the presence and frequency of couples' self-reported financial conflict.Reliable and valid measurements, such as this, have a significant impact on advancing research and practice.This Issue extends our topic areas into financial socialization and financial self-efficacy, where gender differences are interconnected.Money scripts also show a relationship with financial socialization.I want to highlight that the first two articles report preliminary results from pilot and exploratory studies that employ smaller, unique samples.While not nationally representative, these exploratory and pilot studies have an impact on laying the groundwork for larger-scale projects and are important for expanding financial therapy research to new and deeper areas.The collaborative nature of these studies is also notable, as research is strengthened through collaborative efforts where each researcher and practitioner's expertise can thrive.This research is exciting and aligns well with the scope and purpose of the Journal of Financial Therapy.
