Money makes or breaks countless marriages, but what if your financial differences could actually strengthen your relationship? Renee, dives deep into how couples can transform financial stress into spiritual growth through a kingdom-centered approach to money.
At its core, money represents far more than dollars and cents – it embodies our sense of safety, control, identity, and dreams. When partners bring different financial backgrounds and habits to a marriage, conflict naturally follows. But unity doesn't require identical perspectives. Renee explains, "Unity doesn't mean sameness. It means oneness of heart, vision and purpose." This distinction transforms how couples navigate their finances together.
Drawing from scripture and personal experience, Renee offers practical wisdom for building financial peace: budgeting together regardless of who pays the bills, praying about significant purchases, establishing regular financial check-ins, and embracing the concept of "our money" rather than individual ownership. She beautifully reframes Biblical submission and servant leadership within financial contexts – not as power dynamics but as mutual respect and collaborative decision-making. Most powerfully, she addresses those inevitable seasons of financial hardship that test even the strongest marriages. "Remember this truth," she encourages, "God doesn't waste hard seasons. He uses them to draw us closer to him and to each other."
