What to Expect in My Newsletter

Hi, I’m Brian — husband to Hope since 2002, dad to three kids. Founder of Modern Husbands. Accredited Financial Counselor® and Fair Play® domestic labor specialist.

I started Modern Husbands because I’ve been where many of you are right now: trying to juggle bills, careers, housework, and family without losing sight of the joy in marriage. Along the way, I learned that thriving as a couple doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when you have the right systems in place — and when you approach money and home life as a team.

This newsletter is where I share those systems, stories, and strategies with you.

Who This Newsletter is For

If you and your partner are:

Balancing two careers and a busy household.
Tired of feeling like money is a source of tension instead of teamwork.
Looking for ways to divide chores and mental load fairly.
Wanting more time to enjoy each other without constantly “managing” life…

…then you’re in the right place.

What You’ll Get as a Free Subscriber

I focus on three core areas.

1. Daily Finances Made Simple

Budgeting systems, bill-paying strategies, debt payoff tips, explanations to how government impacts our finances, credit score know-how — the everyday money moves that make life easier.

2. Dual-Career Couple Strategies

How to support each other’s professional goals while keeping the home running smoothly. We’ll talk about schedules, travel, and avoiding burnout.

3. Systems for Chores & Home Management

Fair division of labor, mental load checklists, and tools to make household responsibilities less stressful and more equitable.

Plus, I’ll share real stories, lessons from experts, and research that’s easy to apply in everyday life.

Professional Support

As an Accredited Financial Counselor® and Fair Play® domestic labor specialist, I am uniquely qualified to help busy dual career couples manage money and the home as a team.

And as far as my financial expertise and passion — leave your financial planning (investments) to someone else. I am laser focused on strategies to manage your daily finances as a couple.
