Why do couples fight so hard about money? The reasons are simple although not so easily corrected. What you spend your money on represents your values.
And it is also a control thing: who makes the decision on what. And sometimes when you do not have enough you bicker more.
I have no easy answers except a couple needs to make up their mind who makes the decisions on what. It is also a matter of trust. Usually one partner is freer with spending and the other is tighter.
That is actually a good thing. You have to work things out between the two of you and each person acts as a check and balance on the other.
A couple has to have agreement on their handling of money. Otherwise, there will be constant conflict in that area. That is one major area each couple just has to work out.

You can’t hide your faith. Everything you do, say reflects some kind of value. You may not be able to state directly your deepest feeling and thoughts. Nevertheless, your actions always reflect your faith. It may sound elementary but everybody has a mindset and it is reflected by what you say, do. You can’t hide your faith.

Can you separate religion and morality from politics? I don’t think so. Every action a politician makes or thinks about reflects some kind of value. You have to be driven by something.
Nothing you do or say is (???) can be done in a vacuum so trying to say you can is impossible. There are politics in every sphere of life—government, the church, the family and education.
It is impossible to say you can do something without reflecting some kind of value so telling a politician you have to separate religion and your deepest values from the actions you make or say is impossible.
Religion and morality can not be separated they are intertwined in a person’s character. No one acts in a void.
