Some of us are on time and some of us are always late. Some of us are always cold while others are constantly burning up. There are some people that are natural savers while some spend like there is no tomorrow.
The number one cause of divorce in America is money fights. Most husbands and wives have NEVER sat across the table from one another to rationally discuss a budget - th establish a plan for their family's financial future. The checkbook turns into a battlefield where no one ever wins.
How many marriages would be better if the husband and wife understood that they're actually on the same side? Understanding that men and women approach money in completely different ways would go a long way to heal those battle wounds!
Men lose self-esteem when they have financial problems. Men want to "win" and money usually represents a scorecard to them. Women face fear or even terror because, with them, money usually represents security.
Who should make the financial decisions in a family? BOTH OF YOU! The partner with the natural gift can prepare the details of the budget but the decision-making must be done by both parties! When you agree on your value system, you will reach a unity in your marriage that you can experience in no other way!
Understand that you are different from each other BUT, make sure that you work together to put your plan together! You will see amazing results!
