2. Get on the SAME PAGE with your FINANCIAL plan.
A recent survey reported that “financial stress” is now the #1 cause of divorce. Whether or not this particular survey was accurate, I can say with certainty that financial stress is a HUGE problem in many marriages. Our own marriage was in a financial mess early on, and it took us years to get out of the debt. One of the healthiest things we did for our marriage was to develop a simple plan and become unified in it. We had the same goals. We wanted to stay out of debt, live within our means, give regularly to our church and other causes we loved and NEVER let financial stress come between us. We also communicate about any purchase over $50 so we both know where the money is going. Agreeing on a basic financial plan can make a huge difference in your marriage AND bring more peace to your life.
#3 sound really WEIRD, but it can make a massive difference in your marriage and your mindset…
