Larry Burkett, noted financial author, says, "Money is either the best or the worst area of communication in our marriages." After years as a financial counselor and working with marriage counselors, I know that money and money fights are the #1 cause of divorce, not to mention the thing we fight about the most.
I suppose this stands to reason...our finances impact (whether we like it or not) almost every aspect of our lives so when married couples aren't united about their money it affects almost everything.
Unity in marriage is essential for success, so whether in crisis or health, it is important to work out money issues TOGETHER!
Step #1 - Sit down at the table TOGETHER!
Step #2 - Turn off the TV
Step #3 - Make a list of your JOINT goals for finances (short and long term)
Step #4 - Work TOGETHER to achieve those goals.
Step #5 - Enjoy a UNITY in your marriage that you may never have experienced before.
