The best place to start in establishing your financial priorities is with prayer. James 1:5 tells us if we lack wisdom to ask God. Psalms 119:24 tells us that God delights in His Counselors. Hebrews 4:12 tells us among other things that the Word of God knows the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Bottom line is that God's Word is intended to be the guide and counselor for our lives. So pray to God, asking Him for guidance, direction and discernment regarding what your financial priorities should be (beyond financing the Kingdom of God here on earth). Now God most likely won't spell out your financial priorities for you, but rather direct and guide you in what to do, who to seek counsel from, and what resources to avail yourself of.
Lastly, husbands and wives should seek God's guidance and direction on their financial priorities through prayer together, as one, the way God sees you. Because husbands and wives need to be in agreement in order to be prosperous in their marriage, financially and otherwise.
