As we gear up for Valentine’s Day, I couldn’t help but think about the intriguing tensions of love and money and what you can do about it.

Drawing wisdom from scripture and a timeless quote, we’ll explore three common tensions in relationships and practical ideas to address them. Remember, when disagreements arise, our goal should always be progress, not victory.

Join me in this journey of navigating love and money, as we strive for breakthroughs and blessings in our faithful financial stewardship.

In this episode, John discusses:

• The impact of past experiences on present financial choices
• How different beliefs and behaviors shape relationships
• The equation of love and money in relationships
• Three tensions of love and money and practical steps to address them

Key Takeaways:

• In navigating the intersection of love and money, understanding the impact of past experiences on present financial behaviors is crucial, as your beliefs and behaviors are shaped by early experiences.
• Recognizing that “Love + Money / Our Differences = Tension”—such as differing values, communication challenges, and struggles over financial control—addressing them wisely can lead to progress, emphasizing shared values and fostering open communication.
• To overcome financial tensions, couples can find common ground by identifying shared priorities and values, engaging in conversations about the broader topics of money (rather than specific issues), and defining and involving each other in financial roles and responsibilities.
• Wisdom from scripture underscores the importance of avoiding the love of money, pursuing righteousness and contentment, and providing guidance on how to navigate love and money tensions in relationships.

“Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, and I pray that it is filled with love: love for God, love for others, and love for those closest to you.”
