💸Couples often start marriage with stars in their eyes and receipts in their hands. The honeymoon phase can quickly turn into the blame game when the bills roll in.

Arguments over spending, debt, savings (or lack thereof), and hidden Amazon packages can turn lovebirds into rivals. One spouse may save, the other splurges. One plans, the other wings it. Instead of solving the issue, couples end up pointing fingers—“You spend too much!” or “You’re too controlling!”

Sound familiar?  

💡 Biblical Solution: Put God First in Finances

Malachi 3:10 (KJV) says:
“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse… and prove me now herewith… if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing…”

God’s financial plan begins with obedience. When we honor Him first with tithes, He blesses the rest. Tithing isn’t just giving—it’s trusting. It reminds couples that God is the provider, not just their paycheck.  When you tithe, you don’t go back to the church expecting help.  God blesses you.

It may be a better job, an inheritance, or a raise.  The church is not your saving ATM. If the church can help, there are programs but some people put money in and expect to take money out when the money is to run the church. 

Proverbs 21:5 (KJV) backs this up:
“The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.”
→ In other words, make a plan, or stay broke.

Romans 13:8 (KJV) adds:
“Owe no man any thing, but to love one another…”
→ Don’t let debt be your third wheel. Pay it down, one honest step at a time. 

✅ Real-World Tips That Work:

1. Make a budget together – and stick to it.

2. Tithe first, spend second, save third.

3. Be honest about spending habits (no hiding purchases or secret credit cards).

4. Get a financial counselor, book or take an online course from the library (free)—especially if you’re stuck or drowning in debt.

5. Follow the 50/50 rule: Spend half, save half. That’s stewardship and security working together.

🕊️ Takeaway:

Money doesn’t ruin marriages—secrets and pride do. Invite God into your finances, and peace will follow your pennies.

Money will test your marriage—but it doesn’t have to break it. When God is in the budget and love is in the conversation, financial peace is possible. Let faith guide your funds and honesty guide your heart.
