Spend Smarter in Marriage: Winston & Rachel Cruze

Gabe and Rebekah continue The Rhythm of Us series with special guests Rachel and Winston Cruze. What does it look like to find harmony in marriage through wise money habits? Rachel and Winston share their journey—from spender-vs-saver tensions to practical tools for auditing spending and building unity as a team. They laugh about shared anniversaries, unpack origin stories around finances, and offer encouragement for couples seeking to steward resources with intention and grace. In this episode, you’ll learn: How to recognize spender-saver dynamics and turn them into strengths for your marriage. Practical steps to audit subscriptions, cut unnecessary costs, and align on a budget together. Why understanding your "money origin story" fosters empathy and deeper connection. Simple rhythms like weekly money dates to keep communication open and fun. The role of generosity and contentment in building a legacy of financial peace. This conversation will equip you to approach money not as a battleground, but as a shared path toward freedom and unity in your home.
