Married and Lonely because of Money issues

Married Christian Wife if you are feeling lonely because of money issues facing the marriage, know that you are not alone. There are many christian wives that feel alone because their husband has chosen to “SHUT DOWN” because he feels as if the weight of the world is on his shoulders.

He does not realize that you are the one that deals with the day to day managing of the money; however, you are the direct blame for what is going on. You get to be that easy target to lash out at once he is home from work. No that does not make it right and for some of you unfortunately, you have gotten used to this.

What can you do? First and foremost, you know that Prayer changes things. Remember James 5:16 says, “The prayers of the righteous availeth much.” Let me say this – I know some of you are praying that God will change him and more than likely what will happen is that you will be changed. If you are preparing to discuss the finances with your husband, ask GOD to prepare his heart and mind to receive what you need to share with him.

It is no fun being married and feeling lonely because you are not connecting spiritually or emotionally. Second, wait for God’s timing on when to have the discussion. Whether you have been married a long time or not, you should know your husband well enough to know when he will “hear the message” and when he will not receive what you are attempting to convey.

Wives, listen do not be deceived by your own thinking as to what you are assuming is going on! Make the time to sit and talk with your husband openly about the finances. I did not say accuse him or berate him in any way, but when it is appropriate beginning the conversation to remove misunderstandings and feelings of loneliness.

I know it is very frustrating to be married and yet feel alone. Remember, more than likley both of you have made your share of financial mistakes. Now is the time to regroup, open up to each other and share what is troubling you. You will be glad you did.
