The 5 Money Languages for Couples (EP:979)

When 70% of Divorces Are Over Money, Every Christian Man Needs to Read This

What if I told you that the fights you're having with your wife about restaurants, vacations, and even your kids' activities aren't really about those things at all? What if the real issue is something you've never identified, never labeled, and never learned to navigate together?

In this eye-opening conversation with Scott and Bethany Palmer—known as "The Money Couple"—we dive into the shocking reality that 70% of all divorces cite money as the primary reason for breakup. But here's the twist: it's not about the amount of money couples have. It's about how they communicate about money, and more importantly, why they fight about it in the first place.

The Palmers, authors of "The Five Money Personalities," share their groundbreaking discovery that couples don't just marry their opposites—they marry their money opposites. Through their research with over 300,000 people, they've identified five distinct money personalities that determine how we view and handle finances. From the couple who divorced over daily coffee purchases to their own $98,000 credit card debt despite being financial advisors, Scott and Bethany reveal why understanding your money personality combination is the secret to transforming conflict into connection.

Get ready to discover whether you're a Saver, Spender, Risk Taker, Security Seeker, or Flyer—and more importantly, how to turn money conversations from arguments into adventures that actually bring you and your wife closer together.

Key insights from our conversation:

• 85% of couples don't talk about money before marriage

• Half the fights you're having aren't about the actual issue—they're about underlying money personalities colliding

• Understanding your spouse's money personality is like understanding their love language

• This impacts everything from restaurant choices to your kids' activities
