Marriage Prep 101: Financial Harmony

Marriage is fragile and needs to be treated with care and nurturing. Keeping God as the focal point inyour marriage is crucial.

With that in mind, ensuring that God remains the center of your finances is going to be a key component to a healthy marriage. Couples who take the time to achieve financial harmony find themselves in a happier and more fulfilled relationship.

When it comes to healthy communication in a marriage, talking about finances encompasses almost

every aspect of our lives. Setting boundaries, understanding the value that each other places on money, and respecting that both have equal financial rights and responsibilities will strengthen the marriage bonds.

Financial harmony within a marriage is crucial for validation, freedom, power, respect, security, and happiness.

At our parish, we offer Financial Harmony sessions for engaged couples. These sessions walk you through the 7 steps to Financial Harmony, how to communicate effectively regarding your finances, how to manage your household finances, financial planning, tax planning, and estate planning techniques.

We are so focused on ensuring that your marriage has the support that it needs from your parish family that we maintain our relationship with you even after you’re married.
