In a simple house on the District of town, a husband lives with them and they are in a heated argument. The room, which was usually full of laughter and warmth, was now filled with a chill of tension.

"David, I can't take it anymore!" Amelia exclaimed in a frustrated tone. "We are always struggling to overcome these financial problems. How can we continue to live like this?"

David took a deep breath, his eyes filled with guilt. "I know, darling. I really know that this isn't the life we want. But what can I do? I've tried my best."

Amelia cried, tears streaming down her face. "I know you work hard, David. But our children need more than this. They need a proper education, enough food, and good clothes. This makes me feel like a failure."

David took Amelia's hand gently. "We will never fail as parents, darling. We have given the best we can for them. We just have to be more patient and keep trying."

They were silent for a moment, letting their words sink in. The silence of their room was finally broken when the sound of rain began to pound on the roof of their house. They looked out the window and realized how important each other was in weathering the storms of their lives.

Days passed, and their financial situation remained difficult. However, they decided to change the way they both dealt with it. They start talking openly about their finances, creating budgets, and looking for ways to save even small amounts.

David tries to find extra work in his spare time, while Amelia starts selling children's clothes online. Even though their extra income wasn't much, they felt better because they did it together as a team.

Their children, Maya and Rian, also participated in this change. They become wiser in managing their money and learn to be grateful for what they have. David and Amelia started planning better for their future, even if it was just a simple dream of having a bigger house or saving for their children's education.

The tension between the two of them began to subside, replaced by cooperation and support. They learn to support each other in everything. When one of them felt tired or discouraged, the other would always be there beside them to lift their spirits.

One day, when they were sitting together on the terrace of their house, Amelia turned to David with a gentle smile on her face. "You know, David, even though we still have a lot of financial problems, I feel richer than ever."

David smiled. "I feel the same way, darling. We may not have a lot of money, but we have each other and a happy family. That's all that matters."

They hugged each other tightly, feeling warm in their togetherness. They understand that even though their economic problems have not been completely resolved, their love and support for each other is a priceless treasure.

And so, husband and wife continued their journey together, facing the various storms that came in their lives with strong determination and deep love. They learn that strong, trusting relationships are the key to overcoming all difficulties, and they come to terms with the fact that happiness is not just about material wealth, but rather about the joy of being together and the love they share.

Remember, your God will not give you a test beyond the limits of one's abilities, so don't give up, keep your enthusiasm and continue your struggle
