Money, Money,Money. . Mon-Nay !

Right away I'm sure you've recognized today's topic. MONEY! Yes money is a good thing. In fact, the Bible even says: but money answers all things. Ecclesiastes 10:19 ; so the truth of the matter is, money is good. However, the real question is: how will it affect our marriages, and will it destroy it or enhance it.

Some writers believe that it is the ultimate answer to every problem., but is it really?
This is a question you can ask yourself. Is our money being utilized according to God's design for our marriages, or has it severed the very foundation of your holy union by turning it into a monetary business partnership. Now that's an interesting question, wouldn't you think?
Keep in mind, that the Bible also says: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. I Timothy 6:10.
So many beautiful marriages have been utterly destroyed, just because of money. Yes, money. Money has corrupted many marriages because there was no regulation in their heart to know the difference. Hmmm! Some Marriages even have been reduced to Legal "Pre-nups" ( an arrangement designed by lawyers to protect one individual from "taking it all") Isn't that sad? What happen to the "no more twain, but One"? Where's the "til death due us part", how about the Life-time commitment! Other marriages have even been destroyed just because there was not enough money to sustain. Where did our Love go? Our attitudes change, our intimacy level drops, it has even stooped as low as to say: No Money . . .No Marriage; and Ultimately, divorce. How shameful!
Now you see why Marriage God's Way is so necessary? It's not just some religious philosophy, it's a way of life for your marriages, that is, if you adhere to the instruction and guidance of God's Holy Word. It will literally sustain your marriage, money or not. Yes, money is important. You need it to survive, to pay your bills, to provide yourselves with the finer things of life.; but if we love our money over and above our marriages, we sin.
Money appropriately managed is Great! It provides us with the necessary things to help reach our goals and dreams on our journey through marriage. IT IS NOT HOWEVER, A REPLACEMENT FOR MARRIAGE, it is only one component. Please be sure you understand that!
My prayer today is, that your marriages will have all the money you need, just make sure that you understand that money isn't everything you need!
Got Money? . . . You're Blessed. . . .Need Money?. . . .You're now in the perfect position to be Blessed. . . either way, You are Blessed!
