"A true story of love and commitment, Sharon Almon captures what women need to know about keeping your marriage fun when your money is funny.  Best summed up with one line, “My husband’s net worth far exceeded his paycheck and helped to put things in perspective for me”, Sharon’s personal story is a fabulous point of reflection for wives (and wives-to-be).  And with money being a root of most failed marriages, it’s time to take a serious look—Do you have the recipe to make it last forever? This no-fluff book offers insightful, engaging, encouraging, and real tips to weather your marriage during any financial storm.  Don’t let money (or the lack of it) change you."

"More Than a Paycheck is a Wonderfully Insightful book that I know will help many couples in these turbulent financial times.  The heartfelt, examples you shared brought laughter and tears but always ended with the HOPE that one can always have in knowing Jesus and learning to trust HIM in ALL things.  I was encouraged by every story and compelled to put into practice some of the steps you have outlined to regain financial freedom and maintain it.  Thanks so much for birthing this work out by the Spirit (HE is the best teacher ever).   For sharing your life experiences so transparently, and giving us tools of wisdom to re-establish financial balance and yet keep our marriage relationships vital!   Bless you, Sharon!"

"My Dear Sharon Almon, has written a must-read primer for anyone considering marriage or is married.  From my observation of Sharon and her husband, they are a perfect portrait of a Godly marriage and relationship. In every possible way, they show their love, respect and value for one another; the love of Jesus personified.

Sharon is a prototype of not only a wonderful wife, but also the epitome of femininity. Read this book and learn from one of God’s sweetest and best wife, mother, sister, church member walking on earth!"

More Than A Paycheck is an amazing book for both wives and wives-to-be; a tool to help sustain marriages during financial upheavals! Sharon candidly and transparently shares the challenges she and her husband, Maurice, faced as their financial stability took a major turn. As a budget coach, I appreciate how Sharon provides financial tips to managing money wisely whether one is in a crisis or not. As we know, the number one topic of dispute in a marriage evolves around money issues. Sharon explains how wives and wives-to-be can confront and overcome the difficult economic times in their marriage. Thank you Sharon for obeying the Lord and sharing this much needed subject with your readers!”
