We lived with a "contingency plan" for 13 years, and it almost cost us our entire marriage.
In this vulnerable episode, we are sharing, for the very first time, the story of our prenuptial agreement. Weβre pulling back the curtain on how a legal document intended for "protection" became a silent killer in our home, creating a wedge of resentment and mistrust that nearly led to divorce.
Whether you have a prenup or are simply struggling with the "separateness" of money and bank accounts, this conversation is for you. We discuss:
The "What If" Mindset: Why entering a marriage with an exit strategy is a dangerous foundation.
Contract vs. Covenant: Shifting from legal protection to biblical unity as "one flesh."
The Breaking Point: The raw moment when we realized we had to dissolve our agreement to save our connection.
Total Transparency: Why we believe joint accounts and shared goals are vital for spiritual breakthrough.
