Why It's Important to Be on the Same Page with Debt By: Carrie Lowrance "Just as the rich rule the poor, so the borrower is a servant to the lender." (Proverbs 22:7, NLT) Money problems are one of the biggest issues in marriage. It is definitely a topic that needs to be addressed before tying the knot so both parties know how money will be handled. However, this is one of those things that often goes unaddressed beforehand. If you're like most couples, there is a spender and a saver. This is my husband and myself. He's the spender; I'm more of the saver. I've been handling my own finances since I was eighteen. When I took a year off between high school and college, my mom told me she would house and feed me, but I had to take care of everything else. This meant gas, registration, repairs for my car, clothes, personal items, toiletries, etc. I'm used to managing my money, so running a household is nothing to me. |
