Hey Reader, I still remember the day I found out. We were in debt and my husband bought a PlayStation. I was furious, not really about the PlayStation, but because we weren't on the same team with money. Maybe you've had a moment like that. Or maybe things are fine, but money conversations in your house are just... tense. A little awkward, something you both avoid. Either way, I get it. After years of working this out in my own marriage, and helping other couples do the same, I know one thing for certain: when you have a plan you've both agreed on, everything shifts. You stop talking at each other about money and start talking with each other. That's exactly what I help couples do in my 30-Day Money Plan: one hour together, a simple plan you both own, and 30 days of support while you use it. But before any of that, I'd love to know where you're starting from. What does money conversation look like in your house right now? Hit reply and tell me. I read every single one. Love, |

Each one is simple: an opening prayer, a scripture to share and a few honest questions to talk through together. No judgment, no shame, just the two of you: building unity one...
I'm looking for Christian couples who are committed to honoring God with their finances but feel like they're stuck. Maybe you've tried budgeting before, but it never seems to last. Maybe you keep having the same money conversations or the same money arguments. Maybe you're doing "okay" financially, but you know there's a better way to build unity, eliminate financial stress, and create a plan you both feel confident about. If that sounds like you, reply to this email with UNITY. I have...
Dear Reader, For 18 years, Wayne and I told ourselves everything would be fine. It wasn't. But by the 10th of every month we were in overdraft, we couldn't catch a break, and we never talked about it — because every time we tried, it ended in an argument. So we did what most couples do — we pretended it didn't happen. Not because we didn't care or because we were irresponsible, but because the silence felt safer than the fight. Honestly, I wish we'd had someone like me 20 years ago. We had...
