Summary

Finances are a hot topic in every marriage. It can be insanely stressful (https://fiercemarriage.com/managing-financial-stress-in-your-marriage), and if we’re not careful we can get caught up in the comparison game (https://fiercemarriage.com/crushing-comparison). We certainly don’t know everything about this or have a silver bullet to fix every financial woe in your marriage. However, we have learned a few principles that help us stay focused on the main thing: God. Having the right perspective on finances will serve at least three important purposes in your married life: * Keep God at the center and in control of your life, not money * Keep money in its rightful place – a few notches down the priority list * Replace stress with trust and striving with faithfulness, thus adding to your overall marital joy Keep listening for 7 principles we’ve learned about finances.
