"Where Are You Putting Your Greatest Treasure?"

Mar 18, 2025

When you hear the word investor, what comes to mind? For many, it’s someone with a sharp eye on the stock market, diligently watching numbers rise and fall in hopes of a substantial return. Financial investors are intentional about growing their money, carefully managing risks, and thinking long-term. But what if we applied that same mindset to our marriages?

At Marriage Investors, we believe that your relationship is one of the most valuable assets God has entrusted to you. Just as a financial investor commits time, effort, and resources to see their portfolio grow, a Marriage Investor intentionally nurtures their relationship. After all, as Matthew 6:21 reminds us, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Comparing the Investments

Let’s break down how the principles of financial investing mirror the keys to a lasting marriage connection:

Intentionality

Financial Investor: Regularly reviews investments and makes adjustments.
Marriage Investor: Schedules time for meaningful conversations, date nights, and spiritual growth together.

A thriving marriage doesn’t happen by accident. Prioritizing quality time and addressing challenges head-on is like making wise investments that compound over time.

Diversification

Financial Investor: Spreads resources across various assets to minimize risk.
Marriage Investor: Cultivates emotional, spiritual, and physical intimacy to maintain balance and resilience.

In marriage, it’s essential to nurture all aspects of your relationship. Emotional connection, shared faith, and intimacy work together like a diversified portfolio to create a strong foundation.

Long-Term Perspective

Financial Investor: Understands that market fluctuations are temporary and remains committed to the long haul.
Marriage Investor: Accepts that every marriage faces challenges and chooses perseverance over temporary feelings.

James 1:12 reminds us, “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life.” Strong marriages grow when couples stay committed through both the highs and lows.

Reaping the Rewards

While financial investments can yield monetary gains, the returns from a well-invested marriage are far more valuable. Deep connection, trust, shared memories, and a legacy of love are dividends that bless not only your relationship but also your children, friends, and community.

At Marriage Investors, we guide couples in applying biblical wisdom and practical tools to strengthen their connection. Through Podcasts, coaching sessions, and my new book, Forever Together, we equip you to become intentional investors in your most precious relationship.

Your marriage is worth the investment.
