Hello Dear, Can We Talk About Money? – Part 2

by Rev. Sophia Okunowo | Feb 20, 2022 | Couples

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Yesterday, we started talking about money. I explained to us how money can be a defence in our marriage and shield us from several things.

This morning, I’ll love to point out a few areas we can discuss with our spouse about our finances.

1. Being transparent about our income.

Be as open and sincere as possible about letting your spouse know about our income.

2. Discuss paying of tithe.

Let it be an established rule in your home.

3. Discuss your family budget

Have a budget your home and family run on. Let every single aspect of your marriage be under a budget. The kids, parents, projects…etc

4. Discuss about saving

This is so important. A particular percentage should be set aside regularly as savings.

5. Discuss about how to improve and make more money.

Start looking at having multiple streams of income.

6. Discuss about investments.

In the parable of the talent, the servant that invested his master’s money was commended. Get information about investment opportunities. Search the internet about money making ideas.

7. Discuss about your needs

When a woman’s needs are not met, she has a tendency of trying to sort herself.

8. Discuss about contentment.

This is very important. We are believers and our lives must be guided by scripture. Our lives do not consist of what we have. Let your spouse know that money is not everything. We have to learn to trust in God and not in riches. Let our driving force not be money but God, His kingdom and using whatever we have for His glory.

God bless our marriages
