Family communication Goals. Communication is vital to family financial planning. To enhance that communication, some questions are listed for both husband and wife. I suggest that each of you do them separately. Write down every answer as if your spouse were asking the question. Then, during a time when you won’t be interrupted, evaluate these together. Begin your evaluation by praying about your time together, opening your hearts to the Holy Spirits. The questions are intended to enrich the discussions of mature, communicating Christian couples. They are not intended to become an additional source of friction for couples totally void of communication. Use them as tools of love, not ammunition for war. D. FINACIAL GOALS 1.
