Christian author Gary Thomas writes that God designed marriage to provide a partnership, spiritual intimacy, and the ability to pursue God together. But cold, hard facts show that it’s more than that. On a financial plain, marriage has several characteristics more related to a business than a romantic institution. Today on MoneyWise Rob West and Steve Moore explain how that’s the case. Next, they answer your questions at (800) 525-7000 and [email protected] about the following:

-I received an inheritance large enough to pay off my mortgage. Should I pay it all off in one shot, or should I break it up over several years?

-My husband is retired. If he continues working, can we put it in his 401k?

-My husband and I are purchasing a home next month. I’m liquidating a portion of an investment portfolio that I inherited. Should I liquidate all of it and put it into a savings emergency fund?

-My husband struggles with the idea of a tithe. We don’t have a lot of extra money at the end of each month, so he’s nervous to give to the church.
