Episode Synopsis

Series: What I Wish I Knew Before Getting MarriedFrom budgeting styles to spending habits, our personal views on money shape expectations in marriage—and those expectations can sometimes lead to tension. But what if financial conflict is actually an opportunity to pause and ask, “Where is this coming from?”In this episode, we explore the idea of stewardship—using money wisely while learning to appreciate how your partner expresses love through financial decisions. It’s not just about dollars and cents; it’s about values, communication, and trust.Join our host, Hosanna Nazar, along with Raymond and Jenny Teo, founders of Ten Butter Fingers and married for 25 years. They share how they’ve come to see that while money can bring comfort and even happiness, true joy comes from shared values, intentional time together, and wise choices—not just spending.▶ Watch the Connect2 Vodcast series to engage further—just click the link to uncover so much more.--Sign up here to create an account with Focus on the Family Singapore to access a wide range of marriage and parenting resources designed to nurture and strengthen your family relationships.--If you have enjoyed this episode, please leave us a rating and review on Spotify, Apple Podcast or Podchaser.
