1. Couples & Finances
Introduction
Money is the root of all evil….NO, it’s actually not; but the love of money is. Did you know that the Bible
teaches that money answers all things? If you didn’t know that, I challenge you to nd it in Scripture. Our
money, our nances, has the ability to make or break our relationships. e typical marriage vows promises to
accept our spouse “for richer or poorer” but it’s not tested until nances start to get shaky. Talk to each other,
make wise decisions, and know where your strengths lie. One person will always be a better “money manager”.
at is ok…just be open and honest and don’t let your nances dictate the level of happiness in your marriage.

Take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For

righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith,

shall not be room enough to receive it.

Challenge
Find out what your credit score is along with your parents and closest friends. Make a list of things that you
would love to purchase in the future and together come up with how the credit scores may help/harm the pur-
chase of these items. Also, you both have 10 million dollars each. Make a list of items with prices on how you
would spend it down to the last cent.
