Every week, I bring my wife, Marowe on a special date night. On the days we’re exceedingly tired, we sometimes tell each other, “Let’s just watch a movie and eat popcorn.” So we check the movie schedule together. Obviously, she prefers the romantic lovey-dovey flicks while I push for comedies or action stuff. But since this isn’t a major decision but a minor one, I give in. (Groan.)
But on the way, in the car, we get to talk. And our talking is so enriching, so refreshing,, we end up dumping our movie plans because we want to keep talking. So we get into a restaurant, hold hands, and we just chat the night away.
This scenario happens again and again,, I wonder why we still bother to “plan” to watch a movie when we know we’ll give it up later. (We’ve NOT watched a movie – just the two of us – for a very long time. But we’ve watched movies with the kids, mostly cartoons.) After 14 years of being together, we just like talking to one another. And that’s the reason our marriage is very strong.
Hear me out: any healthy relationship is built on regular communication.
In the same way, do you want to have a healthy relationship with money? Then you need to build regular communication about it as well. A lot of people don’t like to think or talk or read or study about money. That’s why their money complains and files for divorce! Usually, money just runs away with some other guy.
I strongly suggest you think about your money, read about your money, study about your money, and plan about your money. I’m not asking you to love money. That will destroy you. But I’m asking you to have a healthy relationship with money. When you do, you’ll experience a financial breakthrough in your life. That’s my prayer for you in this series.
Have a terrific Feast today!
May your dreams come true,
