Introducing Financial Discipline

Financial discipline shapes how a person manages resources, plans for the future and maintains financial order. It reflects a partner’s priorities and readiness to financially sustain shared obligations. Financial discipline fosters stability, reducing financially-related strain and supporting relational security.

In this chapter, I will explain how financial discipline works in our marriage. Through the fictitious story of Bernard and Martha combined with the biblical account of Joseph and Asenath, we offer advice on evaluating a prospective partner’s financial discipline; and how to develop such discipline as you wait.
