Integrity, Leadership and Goal-Setting in Marriage w/Richard Melancon, CPA, Author, Speaker
Running a successful business is the same as running a successful relationship. Success in both rely on the same principles of goal-setting, financial management, integrity, communication and leadership. Values-based leadership is huge in the biggest and most successful businesses, companies that you might not look at as having a heart and compassion for their employees, yet they do.
Respect for money along with respect for each other is paramount in a marriage. When a readjustment in money and respect are needed, honest and open communication are needed. Hiring a financial manager can be helpful to help sort out why money is being abused or not used properly.
Financial malfeasance is the #1 reason people get divorced, not infidelity.
People’s attitudes about money frame their choices in career, self-worth, a feeling of success, and the success of their relationships, especially in marriage. The way people spend and earn money either provides a life of financial freedom that translates into happiness, or holds them hostage to a life of choices that create unhappiness.
Whatever people earn means less than how they spend and save the money they make. The importance of living within one’s means is the key to freely making choices to change their careers to earn more and live their happiness.
People say that money, in and of itself, doesn’t make you happy. But not having money feels horrible because a lack of money fuels insecurity. I guess the way people make money creates happiness, and how the money made is budgeted continues a feeling of security, control and happiness.
Inappropriate use of money is a symptom of a bad marriage. And it doesn’t seem to matter, in some marriages, how much money is made. Some people just spend more than they make. An
inappropriate expenditure of money reveals deep values issues within the individual that if not curtailed by one spouse, will eventually lead to divorce.
What place does money have in your opinion of yourself?
What place does money have in your marriage?
