Is your money “your money” and is their money “their money?” STATS: www.livewellwithsharonmartin.com Key Points Talking openly about money is the starting point for a financially healthy relationship. Living together means sharing, but a strong relationship also requires individual financial knowledge and autonomy. Being financially independent means you can work together more confidently to achieve your mutual as well as personal goals.  Luke 6:38 — The New International Version (NIV) 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
