Should I Be Financially Secure Before I Get Married?

Should you be financially secure before getting married? 🤔 Do you need to be debt-free before marriage? Is it okay to get married with student loans? How much money should you have saved before saying "I do"? In this episode of the YoungAdulting.Today Podcast, Josiah and Micah tackle one of the biggest questions Christian young adults ask: Should I be financially secure before getting married? They dive into biblical money principles, marriage, debt, stewardship, contentment, budgeting, generosity, and practical financial wisdom for Christians navigating dating, engagement, and young adulthood. Whether you're single, dating, engaged, newly married, or simply trying to honor God with your finances, this conversation will encourage and challenge you. 👇 Topics Covered: ✅ Should Christians wait until they're financially stable before marriage? ✅ Is debt a dealbreaker when dating or getting engaged? ✅ Student loans, credit card debt, and financial stewardship ✅ Budgeting and living below your means ✅ Biblical contentment vs. chasing wealth ✅ Shared bank accounts in marriage ✅ Financial habits that build healthy marriages ✅ Why stewardship matters more than your salary ✅ Practical money advice for young adults ✅ Following God's calling without letting finances hold you back Key Takeaways • You don't need to be financially perfect before getting married. • Financial awareness, honesty, and stewardship matter more than having a certain income. • Debt doesn't have to define your future—but you need a plan. • Contentment is more valuable than comfort. • Your greatest wealth is found in your relationship with God and the people He has placed in your life. 💬 Have a question about money, dating, relationships, faith, or marriage?
