Financial stress is one of the leading causes of marital conflict and even divorce—but it doesn’t have to be. In this episode, we uncover how aligning your financial habits with shared goals can strengthen your marriage and prevent the misunderstandings that often arise over money. Drawing inspiration from Marvin J. Ashton’s One for the Money, we explore practical ways to foster financial harmony, from weekly “marriage masterminds” to teaching your children financial responsibility. By taking intentional steps to manage money as a couple, you can build trust, reduce conflict, and create a lasting partnership rooted in clarity and shared purpose.
