YOUR NAKEDNESS OR YOUR MONEY?

There are times any of my children may see my money may be when I place it on a table or somewhere and they will hold it, play with it and later give it to me. I don't get mad with them. I am free with them with my money. I can even use it to teach them some moral lessons. At times, I give them as a gift. But I can never allow them to play with my ' thing' just because I want them to be happy or want them to feel good. I consider my nakedness valuable than my money. 
In marriage, I see wives who will allow their husbands to touch their nakedness and even make love with them anytime,& any day but such women cannot allow their husbands to touch their money. There are men who are free with their wives. They walk naked in their bedroom in the presence of their wives. She might even touch 'it', play with 'it' and they might even sleep naked on the same bed, but the same men will keep their money away from their wives. They keep it in their socks, under the rug, in the roof, etc. 
They can never declare the true amount they earn or have to their spouses. 
Dear sir/ ma. Which one is more precious or valuable to you? Your nakedness or your money?. I know there are many reasons why couples hide their money from each other. It could be because one of them is not financially prudent, a waster and a lazy fellow who is just a parasite in the marriage, draining the other party. But in an ideal marriage, if you can't hide your nakedness, then you should not hide your money. Your nakedness is more valuable than your  money. I believe you can give your money to outsiders, but you can't share your nakedness to everybody because it is more precious and valuable than money except you are saying, money is more precious and valuable than your nakedness. ' and they were both NAKED, the man and his wife, and they were not ashamed' (Gen 2:25). Nakedness in marriage is not complete until we have financial nakedness. As couples, you must be financially naked before your spouse without being ashamed. And you must do away with any character that will not allow your spouse to stand financially naked before you unashamed. Remember,  We brought nothing here, and we are taking nothing out! One day, all your money you are keeping will no longer be your money again. Don't do hide and seek marriage.  Let your spouse touch you and touch your money. If he/she can touch your nakedness, why not your money?. Break that vow of 'my husband/ wife' will never touch my money'. The only money in an ideal family is 'our money' not ' my money'. Thanks. You can share to bless a family. The joy of your family is my priority.
