Hello ,
Here's a surprising statistic:
Getting out of debt can be as helpful to
your marriage as sessions with a
marriage counselor!
Why?
Because debt limits your options and stresses
the relationship.
(Financial worry is a leading cause of
divorce today.)
Eliminating debt creates options.
It reduces stress SIGNIFICANTLY.
The result? Your relationship has some
breathing room - some emotional margin.
Now I'm not suggesting you put off seeing
a marriage counselor.
To the contrary.
If your marriage is in trouble, then find a
counselor as soon as you can because it
increases your chances of saving your
relationship.
But one of the things you can do to
immediately begin improving marital
happiness is to start paying down your
debt or draft a plan to do so as soon as
you have the extra cash.
Money is a hot topic in failing marriages today.

Tucker, and we're mad about marriage!
P.S. As always - consider forwarding this
marriage tip to someone you feel it could
encourage.
