Ep. 083 – Flashback Friday: What’s REALLY Behind Your Marriage Tension w/ Shaunti Feldhahn
What if the tension around money in your relationship isn’t about numbers at all, but about fear, trust, and the heart?
In this powerful Flashback Friday episode, Dr. Barbara revisits a deeply moving and research-grounded conversation from the 2021 World Women’s Wholeness Summit with renowned Christian researcher Shaunti Feldhahn, exploring love, marriage, money, and wholeness after financial rupture.
Together, they unpack why financial conflict is almost never about spreadsheets or budgets, and almost always about attachment, vulnerability, identity, and emotional safety. This episode reframes money tension in marriage through both data and faith, revealing how empathy, transparency, and spiritual insight create space for real repair.
You’ll hear why money conflict is emotional before it’s technical, the hidden fears money activates, especially around provision and self-worth, how empathy lowers defensiveness and builds intimacy, why Jesus spoke so often about money, and how small moments of gratitude and vulnerability can shift an entire relationship dynamic. This conversation gently reveals that money doesn’t just expose what’s in the heart, it can also steer it.
Whether you’re navigating financial strain, healing after a money rupture, or longing for deeper intimacy and trust in your marriage, this episode offers wisdom, compassion, and hope for the holy work of repair.
