tithing
my wife and i arent seeing eye to eye on this.. she wants to give 10% of what we earn (i make about 2000 a month) to the church, and i absolutely do not. its not that i dont want to support the church or said fuck jesus or anything. its just that i dont think its going to be easy to support 4 people, save money for our future, tithe and not be incredibly stressed about money all the time. she explained to me that tithing does not win you favoritism with god, and not tithing doesnt bring gods wrath or anything. it seems to me like its a nice gesture. like putting a can of veggies in the food drive box. of course if my family didnt have to worry about food, id donate whatever we didnt need. but if we were starving, id definitely put my family ahead of everyone else.
what could we do to come to some kind of understanding?
