How has this bad economic affected marriage ?

[serjent05]

The economic situation greatly affects people who are mature enough to think about their future in a bad economy.  Instead of marrying at an earlier age, they tend to set aside their marriage to be able to earn enough so that their future family will not suffer.

This bad economy does not affect people who only think of themselves and their pleasure.  This is rampant in an area where poverty is seen.  Some couples even get married at a younger age passing their financial responsibility to their parents.

There was a study made on the impact of economic and technological change on marriage rates.  If anyone is interested, they can check this site: The Marriage Gap: The Impact of Economic and Technological Change on Marriage Rates

With the worsening economic conditions in many countries like today, it has a direct impact on marriage. This is very natural, because the majority of people today are smarter and more realistic - especially women - they do not want their lives to be tortured when they get married, even when they are single their salary is only enough for their needs, especially when they are married, there are more needs that must be met and this makes most of them more realistic and maybe it will lead to household problems. And if the economic conditions get worse in the future, it is estimated that the global marriage rate could drop drastically and that will have an impact on many things and will only add new problems. The government as the responsible party must pay attention to economic problems, because with the improving economy, people's standard of living will be better, and that will automatically have an impact on the household lives of many people.

I also do not deny that indeed family life with the current situation is very difficult in managing finances where income is not greater than the needs, the last few years we have been faced with high inflation rates in many sectors both in primary and secondary needs, this really makes families suffer, especially when the increase in salary for work is only at that 5% and inflation is much worse at 10%, of course this is not balanced and makes many families currently having difficulty in talking finances and needs that continue to increase.

Yes the marriage rate is definitely going down and also the divorce rate is increasing due to the unstable economic situation, this will have a much greater domino effect, such as the lack of regeneration of the nation's shoots because of the lack of marriage, and if the government does not see and improve the economy it will be very difficult in the future.

On the moment that you do find out that your income wont really be that enough on regarding to support your daily needs then it would really be that a huge problem for you as husband or the main supporter of the family specially on raising up your wife and your kids on which they do really need up those primary needs on which we know that this is something that very crucial which you would really be needing up to be given on which its our responsible as a father and husband. On the moment that you cant really be able to find up some alternatives or able to support their needs then this is where potential argumentations which could possibly cause up some divorce on which this isnt something that we do like. This is why as much as possible we should really be finding up ways on how we do make ourselves that able to give out their needs and even their wants. This is why we do really strive out on looking for another alternative on the moment or time that we do saw that our income in our
current job isnt really that sufficient.

Hi Forum members, Seeing the high rate of cost of living in our country today, please I want to ask how has this bad or better still tough economic situations affected your family and marriage?

For those already in it, has it cause chaos/disorder between you and your partners?
And those that entered it not long, does this current situations make you lament taking such decision.

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

There might be some financial adjustments, however if both of you have stable jobs and are managing both of your finances well, there's no serious problems that will arise. But if you are struggling already even before this economic downturn, so how much more seeing all the prices of goods and services continue to increase. This could even be the cause of married couple separation if they can't handle anymore the pressures and stress brought by the current high inflation.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

Now as you say. I'm beginning to realize that I don't see marriage invite as frequently as they use to be. People are struggling to survive and aren't going into marriage for various reasons which the hardship in the world is a part of and another reasons is the high rate of divorce we're getting. Marriage aren't done because the people love each other and want to start a family to spent the rest of their lives together anymore, marriage is just about getting 50% of what the spouse has because it doesn't take long before the couple that just got married will divorce. Some people are marrying many spouce in a space of few years and getting paid for each divorce and this is just sad.

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

I'm not grateful because the ladies with good quality are becoming scarce, all we have left are leftover that have body counts in their hundreds. Ladies don't value their body anymore as they can sell it for few bucks. I missed the days when girls were moral and well trained. I hate that I'm not married yet but it is not something that I want to rush into as I want mine to be a life contract and not just for few years than we divorce. I'm not single, not married too but it shouldn't take more more years to settle down and start a family.

My main job is not able to meet the needs of my family this time, so I came back to the forum to look for opportunities here, even though I have the highest standard salary as an employee but still cannot meet my needs, ii is quite very difficult, I have to continue to look for a side in order to meet the needs of my family.

Talking about bargaining I think it's a strange thing in a family, but fortunately talking about the economy my wife understands the situation, it makes me feel much better because this is not my fault but indeed the level of bad policy from the government, even so I am not silent and calm when my wife can understand the current economic situation.

It affect for the fact that we need to work more harder to earn more money so that we can provide the basic needs of our family.

But never get any problem with current condition since at the moment even if we are tired to earn money still we are happy its because we can still provide the needs of our children despite of bad economic situation of the world where everything is expensive.

If they are worried about expensive prices to get married then much better for them to spend only base on their capabilities. They can marry their love ones without spending huge and simple wedding should be fine. They should not look after for more extravagant wedding then get a loan to make those things happen since it will burry them more. Focus on simple life and try to improve their selves since once they earn huge maybe in future they can do whatever they want especially if they start to earn big.

Yes, that's right, bro, marriage is a bond where two people are bound to become a family where they love each other and complement each other's shortcomings. The good or bad of a marriage relationship is not measured by whether the wedding reception is luxurious or not. , but from ourselves, from husbands and wives who look after each other and complement each other so that there are no disagreements, in the household there is a head of the household whose job is to earn sufficient living for his wife and children, when one job is not enough with sufficient wages It is accepted that we as heads of the household must think of other alternative ways to be able to generate income that is sufficient to cover the shortfall, so that economic disputes with our wives are avoided, so it is our job as men to earn sufficient income so that our family's daily needs can be met.

[livingfree]

In my local neighborhood, the husband does have to work very hard but it's not enough due to the rising high cost of goods.

And this means to say that, working alone with one job isn't enough and maybe 2 won't do as well. That's why a combined income is needed for a marriage to have no problem at all.

Or if just one income but it's high paying, don't be too confident with that as the market and tech industries have been laying off a lot of employees.

The man being the head of the family is faced with a lot of responsibilities which is the more reason why the man works so hard to be able to take care of his family needs but the rate of inflation is becoming too high thereby increasing the workload of the man because just like you said the man has to have multiple streams of income if he must be financially stable to take care of his family needs.

Getting a partner who can be of great assistance in marriage helps to reduce the work load of the man and helps in increasing the income flow in the family so instead of choosing a beautiful woman as a wife it is better before marriage a man considers someone who can assist the family by working to support also contribute income to the family.

To be honest, if there are people that are more stressed. They're the responsible husbands that doesn't think of any other good things but to provide for their family.

Bringing food to the table is no longer the same as before that you can work typically on a grocery store, able to provide to your family and still have a median kind of living while able to afford a house.

Having a woman or a partner that's supportive to your cost is a blessing. Not everyone who's in a relationship get that a lot and able to find the perfect partner for their flaws.

[DeathAngel]

The current economic downturn has significantly impacted marriage. Many couples delay or reconsider marriage due to financial instability, prioritising job security & savings. Increased stress & uncertainty can strain relationships leading to higher divorce rates. Younger generations may opt for cohabitation instead of formal marriage, because it’s a more financially viable option. Economic challenges also influence family planning with llts of couples postponing having children.

Economic crisis doesn't exempt anyone, wether your married with kids or your single, however it poses more danger to that of the family with kids, as their demand is higher than that of a single person. But  If you continuing to remain single because of economic conditions, then You will be doing yourself no good, because there is hardly a time in human society that we don't face situations, it does not get rosy as the days goes by, so it's better to look beyond the current economic situation and strategize how start your own family, doing so will enable you look for other means to help you keep your family afloat because your required to put enough effort at this point.  

The question is, if your grateful about being single, how long do you think you can continue remaining single?

On the moment that you do enter marriage then as a husband then the main priority that you would really be trying out to do is to give out all the priorities on which your  family does need for them to survive
and able to living a comfortable living. Everything would really be just that depending on how you would really be that handling yourself on trying out to earn something or able to make some other source of income
on which this one would really be situational. Not all would really be having that able to provide enough for their family and this is why we do see some different status on which there are ones who are rich
and there are ones who are on average and there are ones who are really that poor. When it comes into this situation then it would really be just that normal that you would really be thriving and doing
your very best on providing no matter what the cost and no matter on what are the things that you would gonna do on which as long it would be legal then it should really be just that fine.

There are really indeed instances on which marriage is broken because of that not able to provide the needs just because of some aspect or those common conditions.It would really be just that wives on the time that they are really that struggling on your side then they would really be neither they do find their own way and there are ones would really be leaving out because they cant really just that be able to bare up with the risks.  Economic conditions become shit as the years passing by and this is why its not really that shocking anymore that you would really be having those kind of shit conditions
basing up on how much you would really be that thriving or doing things accordingly.

Being a breadwinner in the family, it's given that you have to keep working hard so you can feed your family and provide them all their necessities, regardless if the cost of living is cheap nor expensive. However, with the current economic situation, the more you need to find means constantly so you can create a healthy and productive family, otherwise if you just get carried away with procrastination and wrong choices in decision making, your life with your family will end up at a mess.

It has a big effect, the cost of living effect everyone's life if you are not married you will surely has a doubt for getting married because as what we have seen many married couple broke up because of the financial problem, there are many people choose to be single even if thier age are getting old because they are afraid that if they get married they cant afford to buy things that is needed for the family, but anyway the decision is all yours if you think getting married today is worst than getting married for the next couple of years then it is all up to you but remember that the basic needs price is rising almost every year and if you wait for it to become low at price before you married then i think it is really hard and you will end up getting old alone and so lonely.

It is true that most people who decide to end their relationship are due to financial problems and this happens because their partner cannot meet their living expenses sufficiently so that this makes some people not dare to get married before they have enough income to be able to meet their needs and for now most people choose not to get married because of this, it is the most important thing before deciding to get married to be able to have a plan with your partner so that we can accept how the conditions are after marriage and also must be able to try to meet the needs together because if only one is responsible of course it will be difficult to meet the needs together.

Hi Forum members, Seeing the high rate of cost of living in our country today, please I want to ask how has this bad or better still tough economic situations affected your family and marriage?

In every country of the world, the cost of living has increased significantly these days and this trend is continuing. The prices of daily necessities are also increasing. In this situation, the lives of all the lower level people are almost in danger. Where people are struggling to manage their own lives, if they want to ruin their married life, it will be more difficult to manage. Almost most of the countries were affected by the corona pandemic and soon after the war with Russia started in Ukraine which made the financial situation more difficult through inflation in the whole world.

Surviving must be a big challenge for those who are getting married in this situation. Especially if they cannot increase their income through employment. And there are many who were dreaming of marriage but they turned away from it. Many married people also got divorced. The bottom line is that if the financial situation is not good then leading an orderly life becomes a problem.

[AirtelBuzz]

In this situation, the lives of all the lower level people are almost in danger.

I would like to say that the standard of living of not only the lower class but also the upper class people is being disrupted mainly due to high inflation. Now the price of every essential commodity has increased and almost doubled. When the situation was normal, when we used to buy a thing for 1 dollar, now the same thing has to be bought for twice(2x) that amount i.e. 2 dollars. When the epidemic started in every country of the world, the economic recession started in the world. Since then, the economic recession has not yet been overcome in many countries of the world. Still, the war between Russia and Ukraine, even the war between Palestine and Israel can be identified as one of the causes of the world's economic recession.

The world goes through a pretty consistent boom and bust scenario when it comes to the economy, with individual countries suffering at different times and to different extents. Looking at the bigger picture, through our lifetimes you can expect there to be a bad economic situation (recession) every 8 years, with 2-3 corrections in between. That means that you have to expect these harder times to occur throughout your lifetime and if your marriage cannot weather the storm then maybe it was never meant to be. Keeping communication open is definitely critical during these times, because you have to coordinate your more limited resources effectively and both people in the relationship need a bit of an outlet too.

Economic crisis doesn't exempt anyone, wether your married with kids or your single, however it poses more danger to that of the family with kids, as their demand is higher than that of a single person.

The question is, if your grateful about being single, how long do you think you can continue remaining single?

Your suggestion seems to be directed at telling others to get married and end their singlehood and I think that is a very good thing because I myself am married and have children at this time. And for those who are not married just because of their current economic conditions, I think that cannot be used as a special reason because in the end they will also think about it in order to end their singlehood in life to be able to have children as the next generation later. So whatever the current economic conditions, people who are still single must continue to think about how they can get married and have a more stable life by building their own family.

Because when we are still able to work and make money through any business, of course that's when we must have the thought of being able to build a family through marriage and not just be grateful for being single. And from your question, it is actually very difficult to give an answer because the age of each person always continues so that even if we can get married at an old age, it will also be more troublesome for ourselves in taking care of our own children and family. Not to mention that our work capacity is getting older, it can decrease and that can also make our income level less stable.

[erep]

It is true that most people who decide to end their relationship are due to financial problems and this happens because their partner cannot meet their living expenses sufficiently so that this makes some people not dare to get married before they have enough income to be able to meet their needs and for now most people choose not to get married because of this, it is the most important thing before deciding to get married to be able to have a plan with your partner so that we can accept how the conditions are after marriage and also must be able to try to meet the needs together because if only one is responsible of course it will be difficult to meet the needs together.

We have to look for a partner who can accept our shortcomings without demanding the fulfillment of luxurious needs, we have to be committed to having a serious relationship even though our economic condition is in the middle class, we have to choose a partner who has an economic class below us or the same economic class. If we follow this advice then the economic situation of any country will not affect the marriage relationship. However, as you suggested above, we hope to have a partner who is independent and can earn his own income so that it will not make it difficult for us to meet our family's needs.
