1. A BAD ECONOMY SHOULDN’T KEEP YOU FROM RESPECTING YOUR SPOUSE
Respect is based on values, not the pocket. If you only treat your spouse well when there is money, it says a lot about you
2. A BAD ECONOMY SHOULDN’T KEEP YOU FROM SPENDING QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR CHILDREN
You cannot put a pause on parenthood until you get more money. Children will always remember your presence when they grow up
3. A BAD ECONOMY SHOULDN’T KEEP YOU FROM CALLING YOUR SPOUSE SWEET NAMES
It costs nothing to speak with your spouse in a special way and calling him/her, “Darling, Hun, Sweetheart”
4. A BAD ECONOMY SHOULDN’T KEEP YOU TWO FROM MAKING LOVE
In fact, sexual pleasure can be a good stress reliever, rejuvenating your mind so that you think better about how to make money or get a better job or opportunity
5. A BAD ECONOMY SHOULDN’T KEEP YOU TWO FROM EATING TOGETHER AS A FAMILY
Whether you’re eating cheap, sacrificing some meals or going without the luxury of meat; still eat as a family. That tradition should be sacred
6. A BAD ECONOMY SHOULDN’T KEEP YOU FROM PRAYING AS A COUPLE
In fact, you should pray even more “God, You give us the power to create wealth, open doors for us”. When you win together, it will be a shared testimony
7. A BAD ECONOMY SHOULDN’T KEEP YOU FROM CREATING MEMORIES
You can still take walks as a couple or go for dates that don’t cost much or no money at all. You can still have fun as a family, stay at home and watch a movie, laugh, stay close together
8. A BAD ECONOMY SHOULDN’T KEEP YOU FROM BEING GOOD TO EACH OTHER
As you navigate the season of less, still serve each other. Make each other coffee, encourage each other as you navigate shifts at work, appreciate each other for the financial effort
9. A BAD ECONOMY SHOULDN’T KEEP YOU FROM NOTICING THE NON-MONETARY EFFORT OF EACH OTHER
There are many ways you are a blessing to each other and the family that doesn’t have a price tag. Notice those things and be thankful
10. A BAD ECONOMY SHOULDN’T KEEP YOU TWO FROM TALKING
Communication shouldn’t suffer. In fact, you should lean on each other for support knowing that soon, you two will make it
If you are blaming finances for not treating your spouse and family right, it is because you have chosen to do so. Love is more than finance. In fact, when the love is real, it motivates you to create wealth
