finances in marriage # 3

I’m Miriam  Neff with Wise Women Managing Money-and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan

M Shared values in marriage are great glue and unity when finances are strained.  As newly weds on a get away weekend, Bob and I talked about children and life.  We discovered we shared a deep value for life, for every baby born.  We decided at that lake side, God willing providing jobs and health, we would both have and adopt children.

V  Four children.  My two adopted brothers have brought, well, an amazing adventure to our family.  Larger living space, more groceries, growth spurts, bigger shoes, I know that you and Dad had to be frugal not just in the season of one pay check, but until our days of independence.

M  Talk early, talk often, what values do you share?  Unity lessens conflict.
