The best and only thing to do is to pray to God and ask Jesus to help you both out of this mess. The Bible tells us that once we are married only death can part us so I don’t recommend leaving him. Be specific in your prayers ask God to mould him, shape him into the leader of the houshold as he should be. Repent your sins, ask for forgiveness and surrender all your burdens to Jesus. I have an endless list of personal testimonies regarding finances. My latest is my husband hadn’t worked for 4 weeks, the food cupboard was almost empty, no money in the bank, no petrol in the car, things were desperate. I looked at his bank a/c and he was seriously overdrawn direct debits bouncing and bank charges mounting up. Instead of worrying and falling down in a heap I remembered that the Bible says the Lord will never leave you nor forsake you, He will not see His seed begging bread. I sang praises and was grateful for the things that I did have instead of the things I didn’t. A couple of hours passed and I had the urge to check my bank a/c, I did think to myself what’s the point its probably in a worse state than my husbands but to my sheer delight a payment from the child tax credit had been deposited, balance £2,500!!! Praise the Lord, the first thing I did was give away £150.00 to friends who were wondering where their next meal was coming from. This is just 1 of many stories. Before I gave my life to Christ I was a drug addict and abortionist. My life had changed so much I’m free from the bondage of drugs, depression and violence. My friends and family hardily recognise me now. Give it a try you have nothing to lose and eternal life to gain. One prayer is all it takes.

Nothing to do with his “”"”energy”"”" its just that he bad with money. Don’t open anymore bank accounts credit cards etc for him. You 2 need to sit down a really talk about this with a professional and sort this once and for all. You could end up losing everything and I mean everything.

Do NOT open any more credit cards that he will use. He is ruining your credit. He seems like he needs help, and unfortunatly, with a warrant out for him, he may not get the help he needs. He may be addicted to spending money. Either way, he needs serious help with managing money. Has he ever tried to learn how to manage money better? If he hasn’t, and he’s open to it, you could teach him or even look on the internet for good budgeting sheets for him to look over.
