How has this bad economic affected marriage ?

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?

The struggles of this economy will affect the situation of a family, but I don't think it will affect a marriage in the manner that you think, because marriage is all about love and care, being there for each other in both good and bad times, so I don't think it will cause a mess between husband and wife, unless the men and women didn't love each other before they married. Marriage isn't meant for the male to be the only owner of responsibilities or to go through different stages of life. However, the economic conditions will only create problems in the marriage if they do not love each other or the partner does not support her husband during difficult times.

In addition, in my country, not all families can eat three square meals in a day, everything has been turned down, many barely eat, and food prices have increased by more than twice. And I don't think being a bachelor is something to be grateful for; just make sure you make money and marry someone who actually loves you and will be there for you through tough times.

Generally on which it would really be talking about love and care but lets just accept the fact that money will really be that relevant or something that will really be always part of life.
You cant really just that raise your family with just love and care because we do like it or not, we would really needing money for us to provide their needs on which this one is really just that a normal approach that you would really be doing. Bad economic condition is really just that normal yet it do becomes shit as the years passing on which its really just that right that you should really be
finding  yourself having other source of income or some jobs on which you would really be able to earn more, if not then i dont see that it would really be totally giving out that good peaceful life that you do wanted. On the moment that you cant be able to provide those necessities or priorities when you do have a family then dont get shocked that one day that your wife would really be that leaving
you and would really be finding on someone that could really be able to take up such responsibility.

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.

That's how a real marriage works, you both see that market has ups and downs, and that's how you improve. Like I work all day and my wife and I spend very little time because I need to make some money and my wife is fine about it, she never said anything. In a month I will be out of debt, well almost all my debt, and she is happy that I will be able to do that, so if you have a real marriage, you face ups and downs together and not just ups.

If a spouse is with you, just for the up days and not happy with you on down days, then that's not a good spouse at all. This of course is depending on how the downs happened, like if you gambled all your money away on horse racing or whatever, then yeah of course spouse will hate you, that's very normal, but if you had a business and business went down, if they lived the good days of that business with you, then they will live the bad days with you as well.

That's why it's important to pick the right person, you may feel madly in love with a person, enough to marry them, but if you are going to have a bad life with them then I do not think that it makes sense to marry them, no matter how much you love them, because it is not worth being unhappy for all your life.

The cycle will always be like this, the economic conditions that are getting worse from year to year due to the inability to fight inflation make everyone have to prepare something that can provide a little space when the situation is tight. Weddings require a lot of money, you can't hold a reception without sufficient financial preparation. I live in a simple family, economic limitations mean I have to look for work to finance all my personal and family needs. Before stepping into marriage, I had prepared everything needed so that I would not experience any difficulties when the wedding ceremony was held.

The chaos that occurs due to the increasingly depressed economic situation can be overcome with a plan and starting slowly, you can set aside the money you earn from online or offline work as early preparation. Do it consistently every time you have some money, if you feel that saving money in a bank or other savings is not safe and cannot withstand inflation, investing in Bitcoin will be better for you.

Preparing everything before marriage is indeed a step to avoid bad things in marriage but I don't think so because I believe that every hard work will get something worth it and if a man is married then his responsibility will be greater so that he has much greater motivation to be able to earn a lot of money.

And I think we don't need to worry too much and don't need to associate all the many economic problems in a marriage, I think it doesn't have too much impact because believe me everyone has their own fortune so that for a man it will not be difficult to be able to meet the needs of his family after marriage, there will be a way if someone wants to try.

Having a married life or being single is a matter of choice. There are others who are single but are constantly in relationships without commitment, because there are others whose motive is only sex or no strings attached.

And as for married life, it is never an easy chapter of life that can easily be lost because we are talking about building a family here, especially if you have a child to support.
The bad things only is that a lot of the poor people delivered a new born baby without a family planning. So, the average of hardship continue to increase in the society.

Due to the way things are going now, I think some bachelors will prefer staying single than being in a relationship because being in a relationship is like adding another problem to your life, it is not bad to be in a relationship but being in some relationship where your partner depends on you it’s not good, there is some relationship where the two partners understand each other and they can sacrifice for each other and they will know when one is not having a good time, for my understanding is in a relationship is not a bad thing but it depends on the person you are in a relationship with.

The reason why I stated that some bachelors will prefer a single life is that some don’t have a good work to feed themselves and when someone can feed themselves properly you can’t be expecting to be in a relationship unless he has a partner that doesn’t depend on him and it’s very difficult to find a girl that doesn’t depend on a guy, as for a marriage people I think that one is understandable because as a marriage person, you have to provide for your family, although the situation of this economy now is not sounding good you have to try and when you have a good wife she will know that this time things are not going well for everyone.

On the moment that you would really be finding yourself into marriage then there would really be things that you will really be needing up to sacrifice into those things that you are really that still single.
If you would really be having plans on making yourself deal up with marriage then making yourself at least getting prepared in terms of financial is a must. You are gonna make a family on which you would really be
needing for you to sustain and provide their needs no matter what as a husband or a father. Bad economic effects would really be that affecting not only on family but also in other things as well
on which on the time or moment that you would really be finding yourself having that lacking or not sufficient amount of income then you would really be having that hard or struggling on way of living.

It wont really be affecting your marriage if you would really be getting prepared not only on the day of wedding but of course after that wedding then everything should really be that according to plan
on which it would really be needing up that preparation on which its really that a normal to have. If you come unprepared then you do already know on whats next.

Of course, preparations must be made well in advance if you have big plans for something that requires a lot of money. You may be lucky to have a job that allows you to set aside a budget, which is not the case for others. Economic conditions are getting worse day by day, making people have to work harder and force themselves to save money. Fiats are really losing value, which is obviously bad because someone really needs more money because all items are becoming expensive.

Previously I could save 50% of my total income every month, but in 2023 and 2024, almost 70% of it will be for living expenses. Increasing needs clearly mean we have to spend more, so the financial impact is felt. Be smart about managing cash flow, that is the right advice during this inflation.

I'm not married so this "economic downturn" has not affected my person life, but it certain has an effect on my career (to an extent).  I don't really see it creating that much division within my clients own personal lives/marriage.  For the most part my clients are just concerned about each others financial wellness overall, but a small downturn is not something I see creating any sort of division.  Here in the United States the economy really hasn't been bad.  The economy is also something very different than the stock market, which has taken a beating a bit of late, but even that doesn't really seem to have much affect on people..at least form my perspective.

Marriage isn't about reaches but a time to leave happily and a memory to remembered. I can recall when I don stay with my parent, we were financially average and life wasn't hard but as they say, not all the time it's full of roses, there are times it used to be soft and there are times it used to be hard but in the end, we live peacefully and they hardly share us there financial status, that's what I believe marriage is about and not the way it's all about money and money today.

The economy hardship is global and it touch everyone, people who understand marriage deeply wouldn't even want to share you there home set backs but they we will eventually survived but you see houses and marriage that are transactional, many has collapsed because they value material before marital lifestyle.

I'm still single though and I wish I have married, the money I spend as a single life can take care of family and I'm okay where I'm for now. One day, I will marry because I'm not sure if it's finance that is making me not married yet.

I'm still yet to get married, but I have friends who are married, and seriously, it is not easy. Things are getting expensive every day; the price of every single thing is too much, and many people find it difficult to cope with their family. However, the issue of maybe they will have problems with their family or partners, I think they were not supposed to have problem because everybody knows how the economy is operating is not easy for everybody out there, so as an understanding wife, I think this should be a big deal between you and your wife.

Also, marriage is not all about money. Every time happiness should be the first thing, many of us here came from poor families, and their family is leaving happily without any too much financial crisis. Furthermore, many people, including me, don't even know how our parents get food for us; all we know is that we come back and we eat food, so the thing is happiness first.

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?

Well if you ask me, I will say it depends on the couples and how they can be able to manage themselves in any condition. First of all if the man has a well paying steady job or a business that provides income on a regular basis, then the economic situation will not affect that much. And secondly if the wife is supportive and she's good at financial management, then the economic situation will not affect. But where the economic situation will cramp down on a family is when the wife lacks management and she's lazy and the man doesn't have to to carter for the family.

For those already in it, has it cause chaos/disorder between you and your partners?

Like I said when there is understanding between both partners, there will be no much problem. they will just adjust to the new way of living. Although economic problem may affect a little bit but will not be noticed.

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

They will not be single forever, And whoever that looks at economic situation may never be able to get married because economic and financial problem has always been there . So it's better you get that.

It is undeniable that the high cost of living is one of the factors, especially in some areas where marriage costs a lot of money, so it is not surprising that currently many men and women are not married even though they are getting older.

In my area, most of the reasons people are reluctant to get married are, firstly because the cost of marriage is getting more expensive, especially the cost of the reception and dowry. Secondly, people prioritize their careers or jobs. Thirdly, because of the small salary, while the cost of living such as land and house prices are very expensive. Finally, the many cases of infidelity and failure in marriage make them worried and afraid of choosing the wrong partner.

I know a bachelor who is almost 60 years old. I asked him why he is not married yet? He replied, if you are not sure you can make your wife and children happy, it is better not to get married. That is his decision. He is an honest person, full of responsibility in his work, friendly, kind, and hardworking.

But where the economic situation will cramp down on a family is when the wife lacks management and she's lazy and the man doesn't have to to carter for the family.

Let's be more realistic, even people that have a high paying jobs, the economic situation now is affecting everyone both the rich and poor because as the price of things are skyrocketing every day that is how the cost of living is becoming so expensive. Talking about having a woman with good economic management, how many women are ready to manage with their husbands in this economic situation except for those who have been married for long and have kids but it's not the same for newly married couples or intending couples because if a man doesn't earn enough money to take care of the family perfectly, there will always be a problem that is why the rate of divorces are on the increase since most women have come up with the mentality that a man should take care of them at all cost even while they're making their own money so it's really very difficult for married couples this period.

 Women are people that don't endure an unfavorable condition for long because even while she's cutting down expenses just to manage up things in the family it will get to a time when they become fed up about how everything is going and they will still want things to be the same as it was before the economic situation because different.

Let's be more realistic, even people that have a high paying jobs, the economic situation now is affecting everyone both the rich and poor because as the price of things are skyrocketing every day that is how the cost of living is becoming so expensive.

No doubt about that, of which I have said that the economic system is hard but though couples can amend. which means if they literarily spend a $100 on a food of 300kg before, and the economic situation makes such food to be bought at same $100 for 200kg they will still manage it and reduce their Level of consumption from 3 square meal to 2 that's just it.

Talking about having a woman with good economic management, how many women are ready to manage with their husbands in this economic situation except for those who have been married for long and have kids

I believe most women are ready and willing to manage except for those who are not ready to help their partner. And My reply is in response to op, which talks about how the economic system affects family and marriage and that is why my reply goes directly to couples Because it's more of Mariage than a new relationship.

but it's not the same for newly married couples or intending couples because if a man doesn't earn enough money to take care of the family perfectly, there will always be a problem that is why the rate of divorces are on the increase since most women have come up with the mentality that a man should take care of them at all cost even while they're making their own money so it's really very difficult for married couples this period.

First of all I agree that it's the man's responsibility to take care of the family, but that doesn't mean the woman should not be supportive atol. I believe before the woman accept the man , she knew the financial strength of the man and shouldn't act as if she wasn't aware about it. any woman that is not ready to be supportive is not yet ready for marriage and shouldn't be there at first place.

I have to agree that there’s more to marriage than money matters. However, there’s already a huge difference when there are children involved. Money does matter in everything. You need to have a consistent flow of income, despite of the current economic downturn, so you can raise your children well and give them a healthy lifestyle. And when we say healthy lifestyle, apart from money, love and discipline should also be given to them so they will grow well rounded individuals.

Don't want to offend, but people who are unmarried or still dependent on their parents will never understand the extremely important role of money. Especially for families with 1 or 2 children and having to take care of elderly parents. I guarantee that without money, no family will be happy because all daily needs require money. If we don't have money to meet our essential needs, no one will be happy, and there will even be conflicts because the pressure is making both very stressed.

Before getting married, couples fall in love because of love, they swear that they are willing to be together even if they have no money and think that they can live with that thought forever. But when they get married and have children, they realize how important money is even in their relationship.

The truth is that the economy have been so harsh to families because of how things have been so expensive. The only option with people with family in this hard economy is to learn to have the habit to reduce cost in everything that involves money and for partners to be supportive, doing this it will be easy for families to survive the economy hardship.  For those who want to go into marriage too in this hard economy it should be a decision that the both partners needs to look into very well and make good plans on how to manage their lives to cut cost of living and supporting one another to meet up.

Hardship can't stop people from getting families or abandon their family because this is part of life too but the most important thing this time is good planning. Partners should be able to think and plan very well to survive the economy.  Another things that needs to be considered for new couples and couples are still giving birth to children,  their is need for one to understand the need for birth control.  Couples should know the number of children to born that won't be burden to take care of. One of the sets of people that are been affected during economic hardship are those with larger family with very low income.

............................

Due to the way things are going now, I think some bachelors will prefer staying single than being in a relationship because being in a relationship is like adding another problem to your life, it is not bad to be in a relationship but being in some relationship where your partner depends on you it’s not good, there is some relationship where the two partners understand each other and they can sacrifice for each other and they will know when one is not having a good time, for my understanding is in a relationship is not a bad thing but it depends on the person you are in a relationship with.

The reason why I stated that some bachelors will prefer a single life is that some don’t have a good work to feed themselves and when someone can feed themselves properly you can’t be expecting to be in a relationship unless he has a partner that doesn’t depend on him and it’s very difficult to find a girl that doesn’t depend on a guy, as for a marriage people I think that one is understandable because as a marriage person, you have to provide for your family, although the situation of this economy now is not sounding good you have to try and when you have a good wife she will know that this time things are not going well for everyone.

I see what you mean, but I think staying single isn't the smart choice for forever. A good relationship provides emotional support plus happiness and belongingness which are very essential in life for an individual. Sure, relationships can get messy, particularly when one partner depends on the other heavily, but benefits relationships are based on mutual understanding and working together.

Yes, the economy does make many people gun-shy about any sort of relationship, especially if they feel that they have not yet become fully self-reliant. But a partner who understands and supports you can make all of life's problems appear to be a cakewalk. In a good relationship, both partners help each other through difficult times instead of being the cause of additional worry.

So while there are many things to consider, I do not think that remaining single for the rest of our lives is a good idea, given the advantages that come tagged along in the form of a healthy and supportive relationship, in the long run.
