Questions to Ask Your Spouse to Get on the Same Page About
Money
1
2
Hi. I’m Josh. And this is my wife Jenny. We help people with money.
We’ve helped thousands of couples get back on the same
page financially.
We have found, that usually, we start our marriage the wrong
way.
People tell us to get on the same page about money
BEFORE we get married by asking each other a bunch of
questions.
But usually we don’t even know
the REAL answers to those questions.
We think we are on the same page, but really we have no idea who or what the other person is
all about when it comes to money.
So, you get married and you both say that you should have a budget and a retirement fund
and you are…happy.
Naïve…. But happy.

Then life happens… fast.
Before you know it, you are 6 years into your marriage with
kids, a dog, and a mortgage, and you and your spouse are NOT
on the same page.
That might be putting it nicely.
If you are anything like most
couples, even bringing up money means it’s time to
THROW DOWN!!!
Finances are a big issue
in our marriages.
But here’s the cool thing…
It might not feel like it
but there is great potential to strengthen and heal our
marriages by getting on the same page about Money.
So, how do you get on the
same page with your spouse?
Just like an orchestra, it’s not about playing the same
instrument.
But more about finding where each other is at and how you
can play together.
To help you get on the same page, take one night and ask each other
these:
Questions
Rules of Engagement
No “Me vs. You”
Only US
No fighting
Stay Happy
No Wrong Answers
Every
answer is
safe
No Being Defensive or Justifying
“Nuh-uh’s”
Not allowed
No Quitting
