Talking about money as a couple can feel overwhelming, emotional, and even divisive — especially when past conversations about finances haven't gone well. If talking about money feels tense, awkward, or always seems to end in frustration — you're not alone.
This episode is especially helpful if you're married or in a long-term relationship and want to talk about money without stress, blame, or shutdown.
In this episode, we're talking about how to have productive & loving money conversations as a couple, even if money talks haven't gone well in the past.
Money isn't the real issue.
The way we talk about it — or avoid it — is where things usually break down.
Inside this conversation, you'll hear:
-
Why money conversations often feel emotional, charged, or avoided altogether
-
Different money personalities and how to respect your partner's.
-
How to lower the tension around money so conversations don't turn into conflict
-
Why starting with shared vision matters more than starting with numbers
-
Simple ways to talk about money that build connection instead of resentment
We also talk about how faith can ground money conversations — not as pressure, but as a reminder that you're on the same team and don't have to carry this alone.
Scripture reference:
Ecclesiastes 4:12 — "A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
Key takeaway:
Productive money conversations aren't about being perfect or agreeing on everything — they're about creating alignment, understanding, and a plan that honors both security and freedom. And ultimately, strengthen the relationship you have with each other.
If you've been wanting less stress and more unity around money, this episode will help you take the next step — together.
