Washington Post personal finance columnist Michelle Singletary and Olivia Mellan, author of Money Harmony: Resolving Money Conflicts in Your Life and Relationships, chat with Linda Seabold and Sydney Boykin about their love and money dilemmas.

Linda and Sydney were childhood sweethearts that married after being apart 38 years. The couple contacted Michelle through washingtonpost.com for some guidance on addressing differences in their money habits. Linda believes Sydney is a spendthrift and she is concerned about their financial future. Sydney believes that money is not a problem and they should not worry about financial security.

According to Olivia's "Money Harmony," people are classified into different money personality types. Each personality type tends to seek a mate of the opposite type, which can create money problems. In order to reach money harmony, these couples must depolarize. Watch how this couple gets closer to reaching money harmony and then join Michelle and Olivia 1 p.m. on Wednesday to discuss your own love and money dilemmas.
