How has this bad economic affected marriage ?

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Disputes over money and infidelity are the main causes of divorce. As we are talking about finances here, preparing ahead for crises by trying to have several sources of income, savings and investments helps a lot to cope with them. But above all, it is essential to talk about it with your partner and make decisions together. If everyone goes their own way it is easy for things to go wrong.

That is possible will affected to our family and marriage but if we can discuss with our couple how to solve that problem, we can get a way out from the problem. High rate of cost of living in every country will be different but will gives the same problem to each family. But we still have a chance to solve our problem with our family and we need to tighten our finance and use it more properly so we will solve the problem.

We don't have to regret from taking the decision but we can fix that if we think we made a mistake before. With an effort to fix the problem and find a way out, we must believe that we can get a better solution. We don't have to give up with the situation because every hard situation still gives another way to solve the problem.

For bachelors/spinsters, they can still prepare their future when they marriage soon. They can manage their finance by saving and invests in something such as Bitcoin to prepare their future. We must search for the right thing that we can do to solve our economic problem in our family.

Well the thing about marriage is that it is not just two people (man and woman) living with each other, using each other. It is a a "shared" life, a life they are supposed to build together and have to handle all problems. As they say in the west "in sickness and in health".

So any problems including economic problems, should not affect the marriage. Instead it should be just another challenge and the couple faces together. Something the individuals (bachelors) lack and they should have harsher days facing their problems alone.

They often say that marriage is "for better for worse" and " for richer for poorer" so in that case no matter what the situation they find themselves they should stand by each other and overcome it, they should sacrifice everything for each other, that is the true definition of marriage, they should not let any intermediary or any third party come between them, not even economic problem.

Disputes over money and infidelity are the main causes of divorce. As we are talking about finances here, preparing ahead for crises by trying to have several sources of income, savings and investments helps a lot to cope with them. But above all, it is essential to talk about it with your partner and make decisions together. If everyone goes their own way it is easy for things to go wrong.

Disputes over money really happened in marriage most especially between couples who married each other because of what they have, they are after worldly materials, money, and power, and it causes infidelity between couples, they will be unfaithful to each other and also lack trust in their marriage, after they married each other the economy was still stable then, and their life was balance, in current situation now that inflation is affecting our economy, and they can no more see what they are in the marriage for, they decided to get divorce, someone that marry you because of whom you are not because of what you have, will always stay by your side no matter what. getting divorce is not the solution, it will worst the situation, it is better they be together and overcome the difficulties, a lot of countries are facing a lot of challenges because of inflation.

Where do you live? The cost of living is pretty decent where I live. It's not too high, but it's not dirt cheap as well, so I'm not complaining.
I'm single and I don't have kids. To be honest, I'm grateful that I don't have kids, because having kids is expensive as hell(and I can't stand children in general). Not having a girlfriend kinda sucks, but I wouldn't blame my financial situation for this. Money isn't everything in life.
Putting all the blame on the overall economic situation in your country for your poverty seems stupid to me. Maybe you should blame yourself for not having valuable skills, which are in demand on the labor market.

If the economic condition of a country is very bad, it is not possible to manage many important work especially lifestyle in those countries. If we consider my Bangladesh, it must be very clear that due to the constant increase in the prices of goods in our country, the unemployed youth are afraid to get married because the youth are very worried about how to get a new wife and feed them after marriage. Moreover, the number of unmarried youths will increase to a large extent after 10 years from now due to the constant increase in unemployment in my country.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

AFAIK, most of my neighbors who are already in marriage with kids are not finding it easy in this harsh economy. Although they are still managing to feed their family but they are complaining that the rate at which things are so expensive now makes them not to enjoy as much as they did before, and most of the of the time they find it so difficult to even pay the kids school  fees. There's this man I know; before, he had a well-paying job, and his children were attending a very expensive school, but after the man lost that job that was paying well, he got another less-paying job, which forced him to change the school his children were attending. He had to send the kids to a less expensive school. People are not finding it funny now, mate.I am not yet married, but I can tell that it's not easy, and even if I get married now and start having kids, it's going to double my expenses.

It’s highly depends on your income and expenses. Me and my wife only have 1 baby while we both earn on our job and business. Our expenses is very minimal since we don’t have enough time to spend money because we are both busy in daily life.

We are not that much affected with bad economy since our earnings overpower our expenses in great margin. I think you shouldn’t worry that much if you can get an established job with decent salary to start a family. I think your only problem is when your expenses is too big for your salary regardless of the economic state.

Not yet married, but I have lots of married people as friends and I have seen periods with them where they experience financial difficulty, and it affected their marriage. Some complained of how their partner stop respecting them.

And those that entered it not long, does this current situations make you lament taking such decision.

If it is a good marriage between individuals who actually understand themselves, they will find a way to survive by pulling together their strengths.

For the bachelors/spinsters, are you grateful been single this moment?

Some bachelors are not married and, at the same time, are not single. These people who are in this situation are facing the same thing as some married couples are facing. The people who have some peace of mind are those who are single with no responsibility to any partner.

Honestly speaking if I wasn't married before now I wouldn't have ventured into it at least not in this bad economy. The harsh economy is literally affecting everything in my marriage. Ranging from my relationship with my wife and my external families. I had to cut down on some of the charities I usually do to people around. I have two cars which one belong to my wife. But due to the harsh economy I decided to park my car because fueling both cars was becoming difficult. At the moment it's only my wife that drives, that because she usually take the kids to school and bring them back. I join public transportation when going to work these days, I had to cut down many things just to keep things going as my local currency don't have value anymore. I changed my children school because the former was becoming too expensive and I couldn't sustain it anymore, I talked to my wife about it and she understood the situation we are into. The economy is biting harder everyday and there seems to be no solution to it anytime soon.

Communication is the most important factor in a household and both must be able to understand and comprehend each other about the situations they may face. Now they may be in a very good condition, but no one knows when someone will experience bad luck so that they have to feel economic difficulties. Well, this is where a person's maturity will be tested, because everyone must be ready to live in a situation where at least their economy is good, but not everyone is ready to face a worsening economic situation. But is it just about the economy? I don't think so. There are many out there who are very luxurious and can even have affairs, that means there are other factors. It could be because of the human being or there are things that are not well connected.

I think there is a general trend but it has been happening for at least a couple decades and is not confined to the current economic state. People are being continuously squeezed and can barely look after themselves financially speaking, so they are opting to put off having kids until later. It seems the more educated people are, the less likely they are to have children because it can affect women's careers especially - taking them out of the workforce for 3-5 years at a minimum sometimes. It's understandable if women do not want to financially stunt themselves like that, especially when they have all the regular bills to pay in that time and it often works out cheaper to stay home claiming government benefits instead.

Our country is very affected by this change of expensive life compared to few years ago, and personally I'm not single nor married, lived few months now with my partner and felt the consciousness of expensive life, compared to what I lived beside my parents.
Both of us are working and spending for our daily spendings, food and other stuff, we both found difficulties to put money on savings. My partners is working in a stable job while I'm only working online ans still a student.

In short words, life has changed a lot since everything is expensive and most products went 2x or 3x in price if you could remember the prices 10 years ago.

So it doesn't really matter if you are married or single, in both situations you will feel that changed from a normal life to a very difficult, especially living in a 3rd world country.

You are right. There are a lot of changes when prices of goods and services unstoppably increased. It seems you are only working to feed your daily needs and survive, unlike before where you can still make good earnings even if you are working with a minimal compensation. Most especially if you have kids to feed and raised as well, everything will be like a roller coaster.

However, if both of you own a stable job and are highly compensated, maybe you will not feel the high inflation. But still, financial management is a must, otherwise you might still mess with your finances and if continuously done, both of you will end up homeless.

[Casdinyard]

It definitely affected marriage and even child-raising. If back then our parents are okay with raising two to three kids at a time, even with their measly minimum-wage salaries, our top-earners today aren't even considering raising a kid at all, opting for pets or taking care of their nephews and nieces instead.

For one, a lot of people are more aware now of the dangers and stresses that a woman must go through during pregnancy, all the things she must suffer for the sake of raising a kid that would end up being a massive menace to society isn't worth it, especially since everything's going down the drain and sometimes the kindest thing a parent could do to their kids is to not bear them at all.

Another is the fact that it's just so expensive to do shit these days, marriages are expensive, and so are the things that marriages entail. So couples either settle with being co-habiting partners, or they end up saving more and waiting for extended periods of time which they see as trial stage for when they get married.

[Sexylizzy2813]

This is the hardest time for those who are married and I can tell you for free that men are not the way they used to be in their homes, some hardly come back to their family because of the condition they left it, some prefer staying outside after work than going back. If as a man you don't have an understanding wife then you're in for serious trouble, your salary won't sustain you and your family for the middle part of the month, school fees not yet included not to talk of other bills, with all these things you wish to be single for the rest of your life, sometimes you complain but no one is listening.
To be sincere with you guys, having a family in this period is not healthy I must say and where it gets worse is having more than 3 children, the only option is sending them out to stay with relations, nobody wants to find himself in this kind of situation.

Currently, the economic situation in different countries of the world has worsened. In the country where I live, the economic situation is very bad, day by day the prices of goods have increased due to inflation. Due to which it has become difficult to live with the family. In fact, a man's responsibility increases when he gets married. I am also a married man, I am also unable to get a good job at present due to which my wife does not love me and family members cannot see me. Sometimes I think I made a mistake by getting married, it would have been better to be a bachelor. However, for those with higher incomes, this poor economy is not affecting their family and marital life. Ordinary jobbers and day laborers have found it difficult to run a family in this bad economy. Currently in our country single people feel happier than married people, because they don't have the pressure of wife and family.

At this phase we are in currently in Nigeria it's a bad idea to think about having kids if you are not financially stable, that might be the worst mistake anyone can ever make..The prices of everything keeps increasing on a daily basis, people can't even afford the basic amenities they used to buy without stress... being single right now is what's best for me right now cause I'm earning money but I'm barely surviving due to the crazy inflation, adding someone else is going to be very stressful, then when a kid comes in it's only going to get worse..we are hoping that Nigeria would get better

[tabas]

My marriage is fine despite the situation of the economy isn't favorable. And with the markets going down now, everything is in turmoil. But how many times have we been in this situation? I guess countless times and like what we say about everything going up, it must come down and repeat. So, I am hopeful that after this huge drop that we're having or a recession is opening or actually happening, more money will be printed and everytime that happens, we're just having some band aid solutions together with the fed cutting rates. The effect of this bad economy personally to me is quite hard and that's because I am the only one who keeps on track with these matters in my family.

[el kaka22]

Marriage is not something that is "affected" by money directly, it is affected by the people who are married. There are people who live a normal happy life, get poor and divorce, there are people who live a normal life and get rich and divorce anyway. There are also people who live a normal life and get poor and stick together even at the worst times, and there are people who get super rich and they stick together during wealthy time and live very happy lives too.

So as you can see every option is possible, just because your economy changes doesn't mean that your marriage has to change, that is based on who you are as a person and not based on your love life. In the end, if you marry the wrong person, you may divorce even if your economy doesn't change at all. I lived incredibly poor and not even know where the next food will come type of poverty with my life, I lived "which colour should our new car be" type of rich life with her too, and all through that we were together.

You are not far from the truth. Marriage should be based on love and when you love someone, you should be able to work together to overcome difficult situations. The husband and wife should come together and seek other means of cutting costs or getting additional means of income.

In my country, cultural and religious factors are affecting the ability of young people to get married. Intending bridegrooms will have to raise some amount to enable them to pay the bride price and also arrange for marriage rites. In this current economic situation where it is difficult to survive on minimum wage, most of these bachelors might not be able to save enough to marry.

[Questat]

The current economic situation becomes a challenge for married couples, most especially for those who have kids to support and provide their basic needs. Without having a stable source of income, the couple will definitely struggle to raise their family just to survive from daily life. But for those who live solely on their own and makes a great earning, this economic situation will never be an issue to them.
