I am sure you are reading
this because you are head over heels in love with your spouse and you don’t
have ANY problems, right?
Did you know?
To avoid divorce we must understand the reasons
behind divorce.
As you read the #1 reason for Divorce is Financial Reasons!
How do you and your spouse handle financial issues?
1.
Is it Yours and Mine or Ours? : How do you view the money that is brought into your
household. Viewing the income you
both bring to your family, as “ours” will eliminate some of the division of
money issues.
2.
Are you on the same page?: Do you and your spouse have common financial goals ? Communicate
with your spouse your financial desires and stick to your agreements.
3.
Seek Professional Guidance: In these tough economical
times sometimes finances are a huge issue. If you have major issues with your
finances seek help with a financial counselor or debt consultation firm.
4.
Communication: With any martial
issue communication is key. Talk and listen to what your spouse has to say and
take steps to compromise.
5.
Pre-Marriage Debt- Many times people get
married and are aware of financial issues that already brewing. If you married
someone who already had financial issues ranging from school debt, credit card
debit, or even child support payments you cannot expect these debits to
disappear. Be supportive and help
your spouse concur their debt so that your marriage can continue to grow.
With any issues that cause you and your spouse to
consider Divorce, remember that positive communication is needed. If you and
your spouse reach a point that you are considering Divorce don’t give up on
your relationship. Seek Guidance from a professional, a church leader, or
marriage educator. Remember that
marriage is a Labor of Love. Most importantly Pray together and
seek God together if you are seeking your “Loving Lasting Marriage”.
