Last week we talked about the danger of having separate bank accounts and this week we’re going to continue with the money topic.
You may be thinking “can we just move past the money topic??”. We hear you and we wish we could, but figuring out money and handling it well as a team is a huge part of a marriage.
Too often, couples struggle here and push the money topic aside, choosing to not work through the difficulty. Unfortunately, over time, this mentality can create a wedge between a husband and wife.
Join us on today’s video as we talk more about how to work through this money topic. Let’s shine a light on the struggle and work through it together.
Main points:
[1:05] Money needs to be talked about in our marriages.
[1:50] Have conversations regularly about money.
[2:20] When having conversations about money and budget, have the conversation with the numbers in front of you.
[4:05] CHeck-ins about the budget help us to see where we are with our finances for the month and keep us on track.
[5:00] We will each have different perspectives on how we each think we should spend our money.
[7:00] Push through the difficult conversations about money and work together as a team.
[8:35] Sit side by side as you have these conversations.
[9:05] Your spouse is not the problem.
