United in Purpose: Navigating Finances as a Christian CoupleНамуна

Marriage is a beautiful gift from God, designed to reflect His unity and love. However, as many couples will agree, managing finances within marriage can become a source of stress and anxiety. Yet, God calls us to become "one" not just in spirit, but in every aspect of life—including finances.

When we approach money matters together, we strengthen our bond, align with God’s purpose, and honor Him with our resources. This 5-day devotional invites couples to explore God’s plan for financial unity in marriage. Over the next few days, you will learn how to set shared goals, build trust, and grow together as stewards of God’s blessings.

Let’s get ready for day one.

Genesis 2:24 speaks of the profound and intimate connection that marriage brings, while Amos 3:3 reminds us of the necessity of agreement and alignment for any partnership to flourish. Together, these verses provide a blueprint for building unity in all aspects of married life—including finances.

When God calls a husband and wife to become "one," He envisions more than just a physical union. He desires a deeper alignment, one that encompasses shared purpose, mutual respect, and unified values. In today's culture, financial tension often poses a significant challenge for many couples, becoming a source of conflict. However, God's design for marriage encourages us to work toward harmony in this area. When couples approach finances with a spirit of unity, they reflect His purpose and build a stronger foundation for their relationship.

Reflection Questions:

What financial goals do we want to achieve together?

How can we support each other’s strengths and weaknesses in financial decisions?

Let us open our hearts and clear our minds:

Dear God, thank You for the gift of marriage and the beautiful design You have for unity. We ask that You help us become one in every area of our lives, including our finances. Grant us wisdom, patience, and love as we seek to honor You with how we manage the resources You have entrusted to us. May we walk together in agreement, reflecting Your love and unity to the world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

See you tomorrow for day two!
