Eighty percent of divorcees attribute arguments over money as the leading contributor to the divorce.
There are going to be differences in how couples view money-related issues. So, what do you do when spouses do not see eye-to-eye in financial matters?
In This Episode, We Look At:
Responses to avoid. "He's selfish", "She's immature", "he's irresponsible", "I'm the only one who cares in this marriage!"
Setting aside pride and addressing issues openly and lovingly.
Seek input and advice from older, godly couples.
Take a course together.
Avoid burying thoughts of bitterness, anger, and frustration.
