Relationships and Money

[welly77]

In my relationship I handle all his money, and mine. I am pretty much the banker. He feels that women are better at saving than men. Well I do save but I also shop,lol. In all seriousness he trust me, and knows my interest always lays in taking of the family the right way. One way to do that is to make sure that the financial part of our lives is taken care of efficiently.

I am not yet married but I believe that any money earned by any spouse in a marriage is family income. As for me, I would always submit any money I earn to the family centre for me and my wife to brainstorm how to spend it.

The thing is that we can't enjoy relationship without money. So If we need our relationship to move smoothly we need to have money

I manage household finances, I pay all the bills, I even pay for my spouse's cosmetic. However, my spouse's earnings go in to saving, investment and big purchases. We have separate bank accounts

I am not married yet, but I understand that money can be a major issue for married couples. For example, my mother faced financial challenges because my father didn’t send us enough money. Therefore, she had to pawn her jewelry. However, my mother also struggled with saving money, which made the situation worse. This experience has led me to promise myself that I will not follow in their footsteps.

Money plays a significant role in relationships, influencing stability, trust, and long-term compatibility. Financial stress can cause conflicts, especially if partners have different spending habits, income levels, or financial goals. Open communication, shared financial planning, and mutual respect for each other’s financial choices help maintain a healthy balance between love and money.

Husband and Wife need to work as one economic unit. If there is any division in terms of who has what, there will be problems that will bubble up to the surface.

Yeah right, that's how it should be. two becoming one means that one should share every obligations and responsibilities with the partner

In relationships, money can be a source of tension or harmony. It's very important to have honest conversations about finances, from spending habits to savings goals. Money affects lifestyle choices and future planning, so aligning financial values can strengthen the partnership.
