How Do I Balance Marriage and Tithing?

This week on Ask the Pastor, Pastor J.D. pauses his series called, “Why Does It Matter?” to answer a listener question about challenges of tithing when a spouse disagree. A glimpse inside this episode: Tithing is a biblical command that reflects trust in God. Communication is key when spouses disagree on financial matters. It’s important to honor each other’s perspectives in marriage. Testing God through tithing can lead to personal testimonies of faithfulness. You can’t give what you don’t have authority over. Prayer is essential in changing hearts regarding financial decisions. Generosity can be demonstrated through small acts of giving. God values the spirit of generosity over the amount given. Mutual respect in financial decisions strengthens marriage. Encouragement and prayer can lead to shifts in financial perspectives.
