MONEY AND MARRIAGE: HOW WE MAKE FINANCIAL DECISIONS AS A TEAM


Listen Later

In this episode, Josh and Priscilla open up about the real, behind-the-scenes rhythms of managing money as a married couple—without the pressure of perfection or pretending to “have it all figured out.” 

They share their three pillars of financial decision-making as a team: having a shared financial vision, building communication rhythms, and defining clear roles in the budgeting process. With honesty and humor, they talk about stewardship, generosity, contentment, and how aligning their values changed not just their finances, but their marriage.

Listeners hear relatable moments—from saying “no” to unnecessary spending, to learning how to communicate without defensiveness, to choosing presence over a more lucrative career path. 

They break down how weekly, monthly, and annual financial check-ins keep them on the same page, plus how they handle budgeting challenges (like surprise birthday parties and kids who only eat $10 raspberries).

Whether you’re newly married, navigating financial stress, or simply trying to become more intentional with money, this episode offers practical tools, honest encouragement, and real-life examples of building unity—not division—through budgeting and communication.
