The Table Letter

A seat at the table, once a week.

Money is easier to talk about when someone else brings up the subject. The Table Letter does that for the two of you: one even-handed talk each week from Max Deitz and Leah Brandt, written so either of you can forward it without it sounding like a hint.

• The new talk

  Two fair questions, the plan in the middle, and the who-does-what list.

• One thing to do together

  A small task you can finish in the time it takes to drink a coffee.

• A question to ask tonight

  One opener for the conversation, worded so neither of you feels cornered.
