Guarding Finances: Stewarding Money Together with Honesty, Unity, and Trust

Money is one of the top sources of conflict in marriage—but it doesn’t have to be. In this episode of The Abundantly Expectant Marriage Podcast, Rachel and Ron dive into what it looks like to guard your finances as a couple, aligning your money habits with God’s design. With honesty, unity, and generosity at the core, they’ll explore biblical wisdom, practical tools (like budgets and money meetings), and the importance of keeping your heart anchored in eternal values rather than earthly treasures.

If you’ve ever argued over Amazon packages, thermostat settings, or mystery Starbucks charges, this episode is for you. Learn how to keep financial conflict from dividing you and instead use money as a tool to strengthen your trust, deepen your unity, and impact God’s Kingdom.
