We know money is a major part of our lives as married couples. In fact, we make about 70% of our decision based on finances.

The house we live in, the area we stay, how many kids we have, what school they go, the type of clothes they wear, the type of food they eat, how comfortable the house we live in is, do we rent an apartment or buy one, what work we do, where we work, what part of the country we live in, what type of friends we have, the type of car(s) we have, what church we attend, our spiritual level…and it goes on and on.

Money is so important that it appears in the Bible 123 times.

The only thing that can compete with God in our hearts is mammon or finances. Every sin of covetousness especially of material things is traceable to Financial issues.

Most adulteries and fornications are basically traceable to money. For example, a beautiful lady or handsome guy who you get attracted to is attractive because she/he can afford expensive things that make her/him beautiful.

No one is attracted to an ugly and poor fellow.

Money is a defence. It can defend our spouse and marriage from falling if properly used

For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
Ecc 7:12 [KJV]

So, as couples, it is important we talk about finances and guard against its adverse effect on our marriage.
We can make money serve us at whatever level we are in. Finances will answer and solve the majority of our marital problems.
