🎙️ Ep. 4 How we handle money in marriage
💵 Money is one of the top reasons couples break up… so why don’t we talk about it more?
In this week’s episode of The Couples Edition, we’re opening up about how we manage money in our marriage — from merging finances and navigating different money mindsets, to handling disagreements and budgeting as newly self-employed entrepreneurs.
We share how our upbringings shaped our financial habits, the red (and green) flags we looked for while dating, and what we’ve learned about sacrifice, generosity, and alignment in our relationship.
If you’re dating intentionally, preparing for marriage, or already navigating life as a couple — this episode is full of raw insight, real stories, and helpful advice.
