Rocky and Adrian

Have you ever seen Rocky 1? In that movie, Rocky falls in love with this girl — you know what her name is? Yeah, Adriaaaannn. There’s this great moment in the film where Adrian’s brother is asking Rocky questions about why he likes his sister. Rocky drops a profound line. He says “Gaps you know? I got gaps, she got gaps, but together we ain’t got no gaps.” It’s profound because often the way we think about life and even our finances are very different than the way our wives think. And individually we might be good, but we are not great. We got gaps! You likely view money differently than your wife and that’s a good thing. Opposites generally attract right? God did that on purpose.

So instead of fighting about differences, lean into them. 

1 Corinthians 12: 4-6 says: 

4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. 

You got gaps, she got gaps, but together, together you ain’t got no gaps.

Get on the same page with your wife, pursue unity, set financial goals, pray together about your financial goals, and lean into each other’s strengths. 

If each of us did this, the world would be a better place. So, let’s go! 

Today, let’s make the world a better place.
