When Your Money and Marriage Clash

January 6, 2025 • Megan Kovar, Taylor Kovar

Money is one of the top reasons why couples experience conflict in marriage. Taylor & Megan Kovar believe the conflict isn’t about money but about a lack of communication about money. Most couples the Kovars have counseled have a form of “financial infidelity” where they have hidden accounts or fail to tell their spouse about their spending. The Kovars reviewed five money personalities — saver, spender, risk taker, security seeker, and flyer. They explained how to be more content with financial situation and trust God for the future. They shared how couples can get on the same page, financially, through a “money dump” — a once per year discussion of money fears & dreams, and through a “money huddle,” where couples do a monthly assessment of their financial situation.
