Money and Marriage.

Hello great family, I'm happy to be here again. This is another interesting contest to take part and share knowledge concerning Money and Marriage.

Without taking much time, i will be going straight to the point of discussion as seen below:

Is money central to family happiness? If you think it is, please explain how but if you think it's not, please tell us what could be.

We all know that money is one of the vital resources that can not be lacking in The family. This is because when there is money, you can buy whatever you wishes and take good care of your family. You can do what you wishes to at any particular time.

With money, your family will feel comfortable and move to any area they wishes to visits.
Lack of money can not serve the family challenges you encounter.

The point is lack of money even in someone's life, removed joy from that person.

What are some common money related issues among couples in your area? Does this have any cultural undertone?

They are many issues among couples when it comes to money and this has made many couples not to be in peace with one another.

In my locality here, there are different issues among couples and many because of lack of wisdom had allowed this issue to ruin the love they had with each other.

I saw how a man had issues about money and when they tell him that they want to relate it to his wife, he warned that nobody should ask the wife to money!

This was a shocking thing to everyone because they were looking for money to settle that issue.

When the matter was related to his wife, she said that money is not the problem, for all her business money is sent to the husband's account.

Another scenario was how a lady was complaining that her husband doesn't drop feeding money at home for over 6 months.

Not just that alone, but he has refused to eat her food and doesn't share bed with her for over 6 months. This is pains in marriage.

The woman was tired and decided to pack out. It was a marriage of 5 years full of pains and because of everyday problem, no child came in!

Most of the times, we caused our problems with our hands. This is because we don't follow up issue about our marriages with wisdom.

How will you deal with a situation where a spouse feels that Your money is our money but my money is my money.

This has kept many relationships in the dark because of money. What i can advise here is; as a man, don't look after your wife money!

If she has and willingly brings it out, that is good but once you noticed that she hides her money, I would say that you shouldn't asked her for money but give her the one you have.

Try to be plain with her so that whenever the money finished, she will be aware that you don't have any money on you again. At this point, if she is a good woman, she will also contribute to the support of the home.

Note, as a man, it's not good for you to show your wife or spouse all the money you have. Once this is done, she will look for a means were that money will finish. She can start saying i need a hand bag, shoe and some styling clothes. This is because of the money you showed her which she claimed it belongs to us while her own belong to her.

In your opinion, is a wife obligated to submit her salary to her husband at the end of each month? Or should it be the other way round.

Nobody should submit his/her salary to each other. The wife is not working for her husband so there is no reason that she should submit her salary to her husband at the end of the month.

Many men are lazy that they can't go out to work and help the family. Now the whole loan is on the wife! This is as well, submitting her money to the family but i handing over your hard earned salary to your husband.

I will advice that as a wife, you can give assistance at home when you see that your husband doesn't have money to care for the family. Before this will take place, the man must have been up and doing before now!

Why is money such a big issue in marriage lately? what measures do you [or will you] take to mitigate this problem.

This is because money plays a vital role in the family for clothing, feeding and shelter. Note, money is not easy to come by, it involves hard work to get it.

Many home have this issue because they don't have the full knowledge of money factor and marriage. Here marriage can not work without money and the both parties have not seen themselves as one person to share all thing together.

Any home where a man hides money, it's because of the character of his wife likewise her husband. This should be amended with wisdom and the man should initiate it first and show his wife as an example to follow.

Conclusion

Money and marriage has brought most good relationships to the mood and this was because of lack of transparency in the area of money in marriage.

Both parties should be open to each other and tells the truth about their finances.

The man should not find a means of collecting all the cash own by his wife. Rather, he should apply wisdom whenever he needs alms from his wife.

Don't allow money to spoil what you have suffered to build, because even the money can not repair it! Always apply wisdom when dealing with the issue of money and marriage.
