Questions to Ask Your Spouse to Get on the Same Page About

Money

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:
