Rebuilding the Marriage
Matt and I spent weeks renegotiating our partnership. We established new boundaries: finances could only be managed together after mutual discussion, and no one else would dictate our decisions. Counseling and honest conversation slowly rebuilt trust.
I also shared my story with others—mentoring friends, speaking at conferences, and starting a blog on financial independence in marriage. Every post, every workshop, reinforced my belief: independence and respect are non-negotiable.
