Money Matters

This Week’s Featured TV Podcast

Volume # 114 — Money Matters

“Marriage 101” on KKYX Radio 680am San Antonio, Texas
Host: Starr Calo-oy
Topic: Money Matters
Broadcast Date: July 25, 2010

The one thing couples fight about the most is money.  Keep romance fresh in spite of it.  Don’t keep secrets about where money is being spent.  Spend it together.  Realize that the household money belongs to both spouses completely, regardless of whether each one works or not.  Neither of you is more important because they make more money than the other.  Never make pre-nupts.  You are splitting up your income and setting yourself up for divorce!

It is important to discuss the state of your financial plans and keep up with changes as the need arises; redo your financial plans annually.  Be sure to discuss the tough topics.  You should always have a will and a living will.

Balance Love and Career

Volume # 115 — Balance Love and Career (Podcast)

“Marriage 101” on KKYX Radio 680am San Antonio, Texas
Host: Starr Calo-oy
Topic: Balance Love and Career
Broadcast Date: August 1, 2010

People tend to feel guilty when they don’t have much time for their spouse.  Make the most of the time you are together.  Make a date night.  Just be together; no kids, no work, etc

When both spouses work, work should be divided.  You can make a chore lottery even.  Multiple incomes should never be split up.  You are a couple; your bills should be paid equally by both of you.

Vacation together not separately.  It does no good for the husband to go out with the guys and the wife to go vacationing with the girls.  You are a couple, vacation as one.  If your vacation dates don’t match up with each other, do something nice for your spouse while you’re off from work, like cook a special dinner.  Make this time refreshing for each of you.

Volume # 120 — Attitude Changes May Increase Intimacy in Your Marriage (Podcast)

“Marriage 101” on KKYX Radio 680am San Antonio, Texas
Host: Starr Calo-oy
Topic: Attitude Changes May Increase Intimacy in Your Marriage
Broadcast Date: September 5, 2010

Did you know that changing your attitude could increase intimacy and add a spark to your relationship?  Your attitude may be an issue in your marriage.  Make the attitude adjustment to stop complaining.  Treat your spouse well, having empathy for them.  Limit your ‘if only’s’ that knock them down.  Stay positive and accept them for who they are and for the attributes they have.

Don’t go into the marriage with expectations of how it should be, just decide to please your spouse and to please God.  God says to give, not to expect.

Choose fun and optimism, be spontaneous, just do something fun.  The circumstances in your marriage may never change, but your attitude can.  Relaxing and having fun can help.  Wake up each day and make happiness with your spouse a choice.
