It has been said that money is the root of all evil and this can be true when
it is not used as it should be. It's amazing what an influence money has on relationships, and it is not uncommon to be a major issue in marriages. If a marriage can find balance in their finances and different spending habits, the marriage will be significantly stronger. Communication, flexibility and self control are key to avoiding marriage issues in the money department.
In the book "Till Debt Do Us Part", the author gives ten great financial principles to think about:
1. Financial problems are usually behavior problems rather than money problems.
2. If you continuing doing what you have been doing, you will continue getting what you have been getting.
3. Nothing (no thing) is worth risking the relationship.
4. Money spent on things you value usually leads to a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment. Money spent on things you do not value usually leads to a feeling of frustration and futility.
5. We know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
6. You can never get enough of what you don't need, because what you don't need can never satisfy you.
7. Financial freedom is more often the result of decreased spending than of increased income.
8. Be grateful for what you have.
9. The best things in life are free.
10. The value of individuals should never be equated with their net worth.
