Stop Fighting About Money. Start Building a Wealthy Marriage You Both Love.
We paid off $203,000 in 27 months with 3 kids — while surviving coupon dates, heart surgery, and years of money stress. Now we help couples turn money talks into Money Dates so you can build wealth and stay deeply in love.
Money shouldn't feel like the third person in your marriage.
You love each other. But every budget conversation turns into tension. One of you avoids the topic completely. The other feels like they're carrying everything. After 14 years of debt pressure, we know exactly how silent money stress slowly erodes connection — even when you're doing your best.
Money talks always end in arguments or shutdown
You feel like you're on different teams financially
You're working hard but the dream keeps slipping away
We've been exactly where you are.
We're Sherman & Cristina Merricks. For years our marriage carried the weight of $203K in debt. We made tough choices — putting groceries back at the store, going on coupon dates, and pushing through a heart surgery in the middle of our payoff.
In just 27 months we became completely debt-free. We screamed it live on The Dave Ramsey Show. We've been featured on Fox News and Fox Business. Sherman built a 7-figure business while we did it.
Now we're on a mission to help couples replace money fights with money teamwork.

Without It

- Wondering "are we even on the same team?"
What Couples Are Saying
Marriage didn't always feel realistic for us — but Sherman and Cristina changed that. They helped us build a strong foundation rooted in faith, finances, and honest communication. What made their mentorship special was how genuine they are — we could share the messy parts without judgment. Because of their support, we've grown, persevered, and found hope on the other side of difficult seasons.
