In this episode, we’re talking about something that’s in every marriage—and that’s money! We’ll be the first to admit that finances aren’t an area we have all figured out. But a recent message from our pastor got us freshly contemplating how much trust and dependence we put in it.

Listen in as we reflect on his sermon and share our results from a money personality assessment. We also discuss how we aren’t 100% on the same page in every area regarding money, but we’ve learned not to let it divide us.

The best marriages have a teamwork mentality. Spouses serve each other, support each other, and celebrate each other. They tackle life together, and when one slips, the other gives grace. Husbands and wives can be vulnerable with each other because they know they rise and fall as one.

They talk openly, honestly, and humorously about the betters and the worsts of their marriage, sharing how grace, commitment, cooperation, and lots of laughter have kept them united over the years.

Whether you’re newly married and desire to build a strong foundation, or you’ve been married longer and your relationship needs a little TLC, you’ll gain practical, realistic ideas for strengthening your Team Us.

How to Be a Couple of Influence

Within the Christian community, “Do not let the sun go down on your anger” is often quoted as a hard-and-fast rule for married couples to follow whenever they experience conflict. But sometimes Ted and I do go to bed mad—and surprisingly, it’s been good for our marriage. In today’s episode, we’ll tell you why.

3 Reasons We Go to Bed Mad
We don’t want to sweep any issues under the rug.
We need a break before addressing conflict.
We want genuine apologies and real reconciliation.

Us Time Challenge

Think of another hard-and-fast rule couples are often told. Do you practice it in your marriage? How has it been helpful? If not, what do you do instead and why?

Why We Go to Bed Mad

Do you and your spouse approach daily tasks or responsibilities differently? Maybe it’s how you load the dishwasher, fold laundry, or even where you cut your toenails. As couples, sometimes, it’s easy for us to assume our way is the right way and seek to change each other. In this episode, we discuss how to work through the annoyance and loss of control you may feel when your spouse’s way of doing things differs from yours. 

2 Practical Ways to Honor God with Your Responses
Let go of your need to control.
Stop and thank God for your spouse.

Us Time Challenge

Think of a task or responsibility your spouse tackles very differently from you. What can you appreciate from the way they approach it? What’s one way you can express that appreciation to them?
