When couples disagree about recession severity and financial response

My partner and I have completely different views on what this recession actually means - they think it's just a temporary downturn and we should keep spending normally, while I'm convinced this is the start of something much bigger and we need to dramatically cut back. We're making contradictory financial decisions every week and it's becoming clear we don't even agree on what's happening to the economy.
