175: Marriage and Money: How to Handle Finances in Marriage

The Empowered Wife Podcast

If only getting married made your finances as cinchy as economists make it sound. Sharing the rent or mortgage, grocery bills and utilities saves so much money, there should be less financial strain on you both, not more. Study after study shows that married couples are at the top of the financial heap for net worth and earning. But somehow money is also one of the top subjects couples fight about. It sure was for my husband and me in the bad old days. Fighting about money was not conducive to intimacy or to our prosperity either. Thankfully, I finally learned what I’m about to share with you, and we haven’t had a fight about money in years. Not only do we have more peace around finances and more intimacy, we also have more prosperity. On today’s episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we’re talking about how to handle the finances in marriage.

Plus, my guest Dianna was pretty sure her marriage was hopeless because her husband had moved out, but she decided to go all in with the Intimacy Skills. Wait until you hear what she did to fix her marriage! She shares those details so you can do it too.
