Every Marriage Has Money Seasons – and We Need To Remember Them
If we’re honest, this season is not unique. Every season of marriage comes with financial issues that we have to talk about and deal with. Whether we’re figuring out how to make it work for a while on one income, how to pay for a child’s college education, or saving up to buy a house, it can sometimes seem hard to see how it is all going to work.
Throw in a shock like a lost job, an unexpected medical payment, or a global pandemic that pushes pause on income, and the financial insecurity becomes more real.
But again – none of this is unique. These situations ebb and flow throughout a marriage. And if we haven’t done it before, there is a way to use our financial experiences and stresses in this season to help build our faith as a couple for not only today but every season ahead. It just may look very different from what we expected.
