Secure A Copy Money Problems, Marriage Solutions: 7 Keys To Aligning Your Finances And Uniting Your Hearts Produced By Chuck Bentley Ready In Digital Version
put, its about being together in the minds of the couples and aligning what money means to both and by which means that they must both agree to work for, manage and enjoy its means.
Id give it a thumbs up especially in its easy read to make it easily relatable, To be honest, I was not expecting much from this book, I have never actually read a financial help book mostly because the ones I find most are classic self help and/or veer toward prosperity teaching, However, I was pleasantly surprised with what I found in this book,
Bentley presents Biblical views of both marriage and stewardship that will undoubtedly help many couples, As I stated earlier, the one thing that I found most encouraging was how Bentley dealt with the heart issues of marriage and money at the outset.
In fact, Bentley never really outlines a step by step, “foolproof” process for “fixing” your finances, Instead, he provides some tried and true processes and methods that when applied with a heart aligned with Gods plan for your marriage and finances promise to improve both.
Good book. A different prospective than just do a budget and stick to it, Brings in more of working with your spouse, Its not just about the money, . .
Arguments about money are by far the top predictor of divorce, says Sonya Britt, a professor at Kansas State University, “It's not children, sex, inlaws, or anything else, It's moneyfor both men and women, "
Satan seeks every means possible to destroy marriages, and creating conflict around finances is one of his favorite tactics, But there is more to money problems than not sticking to the budget, Chuck and Ann Bentley reveal the underlying issues of financial and relational discordand show how it robs couples of joy, intimacy, and marital satisfaction,
Money Problems, Marriage Solutions presents seven keys to peace in marriage and helps couples unite and conquer to resolve financial issues together, Through reallife stories, a solid foundation from Scripture, and practical steps for application, this book gives a plan for getting back on the same team, Here is a clear and lasting way forward for couples struggling with money problems, WHY I CHOOSE THIS BOOK
Although my life is busy right now, I know in all likelihood it will just get busier, Therefore, it seems like a rather logical idea to read marriage books now, even though I'm not married, And that's a disclaimer, folks: I'm not married, nor am I in a relationship, hence all my thoughts about this book come from the perspective of a single person.
Plus, I've always found relationship of any kind oriented books to be really interesting because I like the psychology aspect of why people do what they do, etc.
. .
Last of all, I've come to the realization that I've not spent a lot of time learning about money, budgeting, and everything that entails, so I've been working on learning about it.
WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BOOK
Just reading the table of contents is enough to give you a boatload of things to think about.
Key Two is about Grasping the Biblical Definition of Prosperity, Key Four is about Living By God's Philosophy of Money, Key Five is about Understanding and Respecting Your Spouses Personality, and the list goes on.
Even as a single person I've heard over and over again from people, books, and media, how much contention money can cause in a marriage.
People are raised with their own "culture" regarding money and finances and often times they don't realize how truly different their ideas can be compared to their spouses.
This book is written by a husband and wife team who know firsthand about the trouble money can cause in a marriage, The first twenty years of their marriage were filled with strife, misunderstandings, and miscommunications when it came to the arena of finances, Through the pages of Money Problems, Marriage Solutions, we get to explore the seven keys they discovered to help them overcome their problems and align their hearts and finances so they could work together
as a team.
Reading this book was a breeze, Although I obviously am not in a position to work through money issues with my spouse, I still found the advice and examples they gave to be very interesting and logical.
I liked how they talked about the heart of the matter which is making sure that your lives are in sync with each other and where God has you, instead of just giving material tips of how to work things out.
CONCLUSION
This is one of the books that I want to keep around so I can reread it when I'm married because it seems like it will be very helpful in a relationship.

Im giving Money Problems, Marriage Solutions out ofstars,
This book was provided by the publisher in exchange for me reviewing it, all thoughts and opinions are my own, I read this book because I am getting married next year and we plan on combining our finances, While this book wasnt necessarily what I thought it would be, it was still a really great read, I love that we get some relationship advice when it comes to unity in marriage and how we need to agree as a couple what is important to us when it comes to money.
I enjoyed being reminded of the Bibles definition of prosperity, This day in age it is easy to get swept away in the idea of material things and appearing rich, In this book, what stood out to me is how we are using our finances, God gives prosperity to the ones who are using and giving his money in the right way, We are not to be selfish with our money or hoard material things, Glad I read this!
