In general men are wired to feel the burden of being a provider. When finances are tough, he feels responsible, even if he doesn't verbalize that. <br /><br />I am glad you are in counseling. It sounds like there are other issues in your relationship that happen to be coming out in the topic of money. My suggestions are to continue to work on your relationship, to be thankful and appreciative toward your husband for his desire to be a good provider, and gently continue to indicate your willingness to work on finances together. And of course, to pray. Pray for provision. Pray for your marriage. Pray for your hearts to be knit together in oneness over your financial issues.

I have done my share of not be honest about how money is spent and I uave asked forgiveness. In the past several months I have asked that we discuss our bills and budget. My husband ignores my request. We are in counseling. My husband sees our marriage as only on paper.bjenn206@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695765107120929321noreply@blogger.com
