Marriage and Money: Honoring God with Our Budget
A 7-day plan to build a God-glorifying budget in marriage, prioritizing needs, generosity, and long-term goals.
📖 Introduction
Marriage is a beautiful covenant designed by God to reflect His love, unity, and faithfulness. One of the practical areas where couples often face challenges is in managing their finances. Yet, money is not just a practical matter; it can either strengthen or strain the spiritual bond between spouses. By choosing to honor God with our budget, couples can build a foundation rooted in trust, stewardship, and shared purpose.
God calls us to be faithful stewards of all He has entrusted to us, including our finances (1 Corinthians 4:2). When a husband and wife work together to create a budget that reflects God’s priorities—providing for needs, embracing generosity, and planning for the future—they cultivate an environment where God's provision and grace become evident every day. This diligent stewardship brings peace and joy, even amid financial uncertainties.
Throughout this 7-day study, we will explore Scripture’s wisdom on managing money within marriage. You will be encouraged to prayerfully assess your spending, savings, and giving, inviting God to shape your hearts and habits. You will also find practical guidance to align your financial decisions with kingdom values, ensuring your budget is a tool that honors God rather than creates division.
As you embark on this journey together, remember that every step toward financial unity is an opportunity to glorify God and strengthen your marriage partnership. Let’s embark on this journey to build a budget that not only meets earthly needs but also invests deeply in eternal treasures.
