I never told my husband about this
|
Hi Reader, For years, I had this dream that always made me smile. I wanted to take my family and my husband’s family to a big house over Christmas, where we could all stay together, have long dinners, laugh until our stomachs hurt, and make the kind of memories our kids would remember for years. But I didn’t tell my husband. Not because I didn’t trust him, but because I already knew how conversations about money could go. One of us would get frustrated, the other would go quiet, and before long we’d both wish we hadn’t started the conversation in the first place. So it felt easier to keep the dream to myself. What changed wasn’t that we suddenly had more money. We learned how to talk about money differently, in a way that helped us both feel heard and made it easier to stay in the conversation. And little by little, I started feeling like I could actually bring my dreams to my husband instead of keeping them safely tucked away in my own head. That’s a big part of what we work on inside Financially Thriving Marriage. Because money conversations aren’t really just about money. They’re about the life you want to build together, the decisions you’re making as a couple, and whether you feel like you’re working toward that life together. Over five weeks, you and your husband will learn how to have those conversations differently, so you can talk about money, make decisions, and work toward the things that matter to both of you. Maybe there’s a dream you’ve been keeping to yourself because you’re not quite sure how to bring it up. Maybe it’s time to put it on the table. Reply THRIVE and I’ll send you all the details. |

Hi Reader, Money is one of the biggest sources of stress in marriage but it doesn't have to be. I've had the privilege of walking alongside Christian couples who have gone from financial tension and frustration to real peace with their money, not because they suddenly made more of it, but because they learned how to approach it together with God's wisdom at the center. That's exactly what I talked about on the Christianity Integrated Podcast. We got into why money is such a hard conversation...
Dear Reader, Imagine this: you and your husband, sitting across from each other with a glass of your favorite beverage, talking about money and it doesn't end in tension. You leave the table feeling excited and hopeful, you are working together on your finances, like a team! That's what these five money dates are for. 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...
