Money isn’t out to get us—but the way we relate to it can either pull us apart or pull us closer. We open a four-part journey on money and marriage with a simple reframing: cash is a tool, not a tyrant. From there, we dig into what actually drives most “money fights”: clashing values, childhood scripts, and unspoken fears that steer daily choices without us realizing it.

This episode goes over:
• money as a neutral tool, not an enemy
• research linking money talks to stronger marriages
• unity and long-term goals over income level
• stewardship, shared ownership, and generosity
• a practical 20-minute spouse conversation challenge

Share this with your spouse and another couple who needs peace around money!
