Should your wife or husband know your seed phrase?

[Marvell1]

It is still unthinkable to give a seed phrase to your wife even though she is a person who has pledged allegiance as a life partner in life. What if one day a romantic relationship turns into a mess that eventually leads to divorce.
Instead of giving something as precious as a seed phrase to your wife, it's better to look for other alternatives to be safer.

It's normal for a couple to experience some fights and misunderstandings at some point of their married life but we should try our best to not break the relationship that we build for years most especially if we already have children because this will affect them badly and other than that, we should remember that we already shared our keys to our wife. In case a divorce can happen then your coins will be in danger.

I am sure we don't want that to happen. You can say that we can give other alternatives to our wife. It can be our bank account or the key to our vaults but I think it's hard to keep our cryptos in our own self as wives will try to investigate if what their husbands are doing. They will always found out about your cryptos later on.

There's nothing wrong with that and it's normal. Maintaining a harmonious relationship is a difficult thing but if in living it we are able to maintain two minds in one bond it will be very beautiful and enjoyable.
Regarding home life, I agree with you.

For me, it doesn't matter if what I give to my wife is a crypto key, but I am not willing to give a Bitcoin seed phrase, because crypto is different from Bitcoin.
My mind is very simple to avoid things that I don't want.

This means your marriage is still going well, but you don't fully trust her, and you value your bitcoins more than anything including your wife.
If you're not willing to share seed phrases with your partner, it's like you're suspicious of your wife and are creating a rift in the marriage. If someone asked me if bitcoin is more important or if my wife and children are more important, I would definitely choose family. I don't need to know what bitcoin is, it's just something that can be bought with money, if I lose it, I can buy it back, but if my wife and kids leave me, I can't buy when I'm a billionaire.

Maybe I'll just tell you about where I always keep it or how I store it. But I'm pretty sure a lot of people here don't tell their wives about seed phrases. Not because I didn't want to tell. but because most wives are not too interested to ask their husbands about this further. so it's not because of a matter of believing or not in a wife. But because sometimes a wife is rarely interested in this. At least that's what I hear a lot. so that the husband does not have the right time to tell everything.

I think it's wise to have some kind of inheritance planned out, specially in case of an accident for example.

But in normal day to day life?, I don't think it's necessary to give your spouse the keys to your bitcoin. I mean, what would be the benefit of it?, I can mostly just see negatives in that.

There are people who when they join to live with their partner promise all the best for them, and do not fulfill it, that may be something that some men do and only 1% fulfill them, it may be that some men are liars and only want to have their women by their side but without access to their fortune, there are women who, if they go after a man's fortune and if they see that they do not share anything with them, they just leave him and never return, but if it is a wife where he married for the church with him, where he will accept her for life, I don't know why it is the impediment, I don't say anything when they are dating or just living, but if she shares and cares for her man, she has the right to that.

I really don't see the benefit of having another person accessing your Bitcoin while you're still alive and well. I can see many negatives to it though.

People can have an amazing marriage, a shared life, and all that, while still keeping their private keys private.

Of course there could be some arrangements made in case you have an accident, etc, and you give full access to your coins then, same as any other assets, but while alive and well?, no need.

Not like that either. The link is different regarding this because I think there needs to be a separation between the two. If there is a question of which is more important, of course my answer is the same as yours in choosing.

Regarding the Bitcoin seed prhase, he also understands very well why it cannot be given to anyone who is not trustworthy and he will also understand that there are other loved ones who deserve to be shown like children someday.

I really appreciate both Bitcoin and family.

More on trust and how you will handle the case, if you love and trust your wife then surely there's no issue regarding to this concern, it's not hard to provide or to let your wife knows about your investment, as it will also serves as a good protection in case something happen to you then your savings in crypto are safe and will be used.

The opinions are depending on your personal take and how you value both relationship and your safe assets.

[boldandbrave]

That was what I wanted, but after she understood what bitcoin was, what crypto was, and how it worked, she refused because she didn't want to take the risk if she made a mistake. After all, it wasn't her own money so she told me to keep it for myself.
But I think not all partners do it depending on the principles of their respective relationships

[LittleBitFunny]

I really appreciate both Bitcoin and family.

When it comes to investing in or comparing bitcoin to other physical assets, there is no doubt that bitcoin is actually more important than other physical assets because of its potential for profit. But compared to family, bitcoin is nothing, it's like money, gold, ... that can be easily found anywhere out there. I will not compare bitcoin with family because family is an incomparable asset, especially conjugal love should not be measured in money or any other property.

there is no concrete reason why need to Hide from my wife when I marry her and have kids with her , making a living for them and all my investments and hard works are for them so why should I hide?

though there are one Wallet that I kept in my management yet all the holdings i have is with Her.

and also having some health issues? i am not sure if going to live completely the same so being ready is what i have here for them.

I totally agree with you, what we do is solely to provide for the wife and children, I think if someone hides the seed phrase from his wife maybe their relationship is not good so that the husband has less trust in his wife and there is no openness to each other.

though there are one Wallet that I kept in my management yet all the holdings i have is with Her.

and also having some health issues? i am not sure if going to live completely the same so being ready is what i have here for them.

This is a very strong reason why our wives must know the seed phrases we have, because basically we don't know how long we will be healthy and how long we will live whether it is because of an illness or an accident that takes our lives. If our seed phrases are kept secret maybe no one will know that you have valuable assets in your wallet and it will only be assets that are not useful for the family or (your funeral) even though they are very valuable.

I am not married but I think Husband and wife normally share everything together. trust is the most important thing in that relationship. also there are always chances of something bad happening like an accident or anything in that case if one party knows the other's details including the wallet's private key. they could take necessary measures or use the funds for necessary needs.

Don't be blind by those words you just stated. There's a difference between trust and consciousness. You can tell me you see trust as the most important thing in a relationship without playing the role of consciousness. You have to test your partner and understand his greed level because someone whose all about money can't be trusted with your wallet seed phrase.
Abel trusted Caine without consciousness and he was killed.

Note: The bottom line is, we can share out wallet seed phrase with husband or wife but we must be sure if the person worth handling it with care more than us.

If the marriage will lead to husband or wife also becoming heir, will they be able to convince the fiscal authorities that they do _not_ know the key in the incident of inheritance?

The moment any coins move from the address they will know that she has the keys.

So, it's pretty simple to check if anyone has control of a dead man's keys.

Yes, but it's impossible to prove that he/she does not have the keys even if the coins aren't moved. Still, the fiscal authorities might not be allowed to simply believe that there is no access.

There are ways to ensure your spouse has access to your private documents when you die or have an accident.

What is being discussed here though is if your spouse should have access to all your Bitcoins while you're still alive and well. I don't know what could be a positive for that, and I can think of many negatives.

There are really just husbands which doesnt really trust up their partners fully even if they are really that in conjugal but there are really things which turns out to be just private for the husband only or simply they

dont really just like to share up or open up that they are really that having some accumulation of crypto or bitcoin into their wallets and doesnt really like for them to share up
or would really let them know that they do have money.

We know that most wives doesnt really like on being hidden up for some income or money involvedment but with this crypto wallets or something
then it could be done possibly without being caught.

Living for the family is the ultimate for any man and once one is married and thereis love respect and trust within the family, nkt only should you allow yohr wife but even yohr kids too as long as there have come of age and have attain some level of maturity.

Marriage is for care love and support and most time, men prefer to leave their wife control of their finances.

And whatever your health situation is, I wish you a quick recovery and stay true to your family.

I must admit that nothing in this world for me to be trusted aside from my first family is my wife , because I even let her prefer food for me that if she has intention he can easily poison me to death.
so yeah thanks for the support because like what i said ? there is no other reason not to trust our wife because we are providing for them .
and as i have heart decease ? i will let them have my funds , her and our children .

When a man gets married to a woman to become husband and wife, they become one and everyone expects that they can get to share everything with each other.

Have many respond between your question about Should your wife or husband know your seed phrase and have several respondent give two answer between agree sharing seed phrase to your wife and several them not agree. I want to know about your decision after getting all respond here and what your decision right now?

Full trust with your wife and giving her your seed phrase or you still don't have satisfactory answer to give or sharing seed phrase to your wife, don't be serious I want to know only and you can PM about your answer if not want become public respond here.

[Synchronice]

When a man gets married to a woman to become husband and wife, they become one and everyone expects that they can get to share everything with each other. I know of women who have the passwords to their husbands bank cards and they can make withdrawals on his behalf. I will like to ask the Men here if they have shared their seed phrase with their wife's? I will like to ask the women here how they will feel if their husbands refuse telling them their seed phrase?

This is the old but gold statement: Not your keys - not your coins. If I have tens of bitcoins, I wouldn't trust even my wife (I have none btw). I mean, today people get married and divorced like it's nothing, I don't find modern relationships reliable. Women in developed countries stick too much to feminine things and that's probably the reason why nearly every men in developed countries marry women that come from Thailand and eastern Europe. These women mostly want to escape their low-quality life that they have in their own country.
So, no, your wife or husband shouldn't know your seed phrases because relationships today rarely last long, rarely are pure and no one knows what partners do to each-other when they get divorced.
A lot of people probably will disagree with me but you all know deep in your heart that it's the reality in this modern world.

[Crypt0Gore]

Not in the U.S 

Everyone keeps saying marriage is a beautiful thing but no one wants to talk about the reality of today's marriage lives, I won't like sharing my private keys with anyone, not even my wife..

I want her to grow and prosper too so I bought few BTC for her and teach her every thing she needs to know about BTC and wallets.

I keep telling people, change is the only thing that's constant in human's life, do not be so sure even if things are going fine in your life, bring your woman up, invest in the name of your kids, but make sure your invest in yourself too.

Always expect the unexpected.
