The 5 Money Personalities Written by Scott & Bethany Palmer Releasing January 2013 About The 5 Money Personalities The hidden key to a healthy relationship is not just managing money but understanding how the other  approaches  money. Every couple argues about money. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been married for 40 years or dating for 4 months, money touches every decision you make as a couple—from the $5 cup of coffee to the $50,000 car. And when the two of you don’t see eye-to-eye on how much to spend or how much to save, that’s when arguments turn into ugly toxic fights that leave both persons feeling hurt and angry. It’s why money has become the #1 cause of divorce in the U.S. Obviously, something needs to change. The reason this crisis has not been addressed is because it has never been identified, defined, or given a name. Scott and Bethany Palmer, aka “The Money Couple,” have identified and defined this problem and offer concrete solutions to fix it.

" Acts 20:24 We shall have Heaven forever, but we only have a short time for evangelism here on earth. We must not waste the opportunity. We must help our children see the importance and the urgency of the Great Commission. “ Go, send, or disobey! ” ~John Piper How do we raise our kids to be missions-minded? There’s no formula. There’s no guarantee. Only by the grace of God! I’m just going to share what we’ve done and are still working on in our famil
