Before You Say I Do With Howard Dayton

Christian talk radio with Rob West

As the wedding season approaches, couples need to be aware of the importance of discussing finances. Howard Dayton, former host of the program and author of Money and Marriage God's Way, advises couples to be completely honest and transparent with their finances. They should swap financial statements, credit reports, and credit scores, and openly talk about any financial struggles they have experienced. Couples should also talk through their financial goals, values, and expectations, and ask foundational questions such as who will be the breadwinner, what percentage of their income they want to give, and how much they want to save. Additionally, couples should have regular reviews of their finances and learn God's way of handling money. Finally, they should develop a spending plan together and estate plan for their family.
