We all have different upbringings when it comes to money so naturally, when we get married and choose (or not choose to) share our life and finances with another person, it’s a big deal. 

My husband and I have been married for 7 years but long before we got married, we were very intentional about talking and learning about money together. What will money look like for us in our marriage? How will we handle it? Will we keep finances separate or combine them? Who will make the money decisions? Who will budget? 

These were good conversations for us and I’m glad we had them before we got married because it gave us time to talk about these things together and cast a vision for how we would steward money in our marriage. 

There are dozens of different ways a couple can decide to handle money. I am sharing what my husband and I do. It’s worked for us but I acknowledge that it might not work for everyone else. This is not a one size fits all. This is only my personal experience and we are still learning how to navigate finances in our marriage. 

My goal with this post is to encourage transparency with you and your spouse because when you are on the same team financially, it’s a beautiful thing. I’ve truly experienced a level of intimacy I didn’t even know existed❤️
