5. Financial problems are usually behavioral problems, not money problems

The Lord shared a parable in which explained:

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country . . . and delivered unto them his goods.  And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one… But he that had received one [talent] went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money. (Matt 25:14-18)

All three had the same opportunity.  It wasn’t money, but the use of that money that made the difference.  The Lord expects more from us! Elder Marvin J. Ashton commented:

How important are money management and finances in marriage and family affairs? Tremendously. The American Bar Association recently indicated that 89 percent of all divorces could be traced to quarrels and accusations over money. Others have estimated that 75 percent of all divorces result from clashes over finances. Some professional counselors indicated that four out of five families are strapped with serious money problems.  May I at this time hasten to emphasize the fact that these marriage tragedies are not caused simply by lack of money, but rather by the mismanagement of personal finances. (Marvin J. Ashton, “One for the Money,” Ensign, July 1975, 72.)

It is the same with our financial obligations in marriage.  It isn’t money, but the use of that money that will make a difference in our marriages.
