Finances are often cited as the number-one stressor in marriages. How can money decisions instead become a source of strength for couples?
Christian counselor Christopher Anderson offers Biblical advice on how to keep the “love of money” from interfering with the love in marriage. Rather than trusting one’s own knowledge and viewpoints which feed into our spiritual battles, there are better perspectives through which spouses can honor God, honor each other, and put their household on a more-helpful financial footing.
