Money and marriage
June 14, 2019
I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money
M When your mind kicks in to worry mode, what is the focus? A troublesome relationship? The the months money ending before the end of the month? That money worry impacts our relationships.
V Money is a common sources of conflict in marriage. Mister ‘save it’ marries Ms. ‘spend it.’ Opposites attract. He likes her fun loving, adventuresome spirit. Until he sees that credit card. We encourage taking a financial class together before marriage. Lessen the surprise factor. It may mean no marriage or wait and work it out. Better that than a marriage ruined by arguments and money mismatch.
M Marriage: two become one. One body, one living space, one budget. One before God is a beginning. Don’t neglect the importance of one heart regarding your resources.
