Ron: “I just don’t feel like his partner,” that’s what Barbara told me. David controlled all the money. She didn’t even know how much they had.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Sometimes when couples fight about money, they are really fighting about power and control. What Barbara really needs to know is that her husband sees her as his partner and that he trusts her. Without that she’s likely not going to feel good about any financial decisions.
Now here is the kicker: If life has already beaten Barbara up a little bit, maybe she came out of a divorce with very little in the bank, the insecurity she feels about money is going to affect every aspect of her marriage. Now that’s a withdrawal their marital bank account simply can’t afford. To strengthen your marriage, learn the ins and outs of stepfamily money. Let us help. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
