In Christian marriages, trust is not optional—it is the very foundation upon which the covenant is built. While most couples know to guard against emotional and physical infidelity, there is another kind of betrayal that often goes unnoticed: financial infidelity.
This quiet destroyer of trust happens when one spouse hides financial actions—bank accounts, debts, spending, or even giving—from the other. It’s not always born out of malice. Sometimes it stems from shame, fear, control, or simply poor communication. But over time, it can erode intimacy just like any other form of dishonesty.
