How has this bad economic affected marriage ?

[Alone055]

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?

I think it depends on a person's source of income and how they manage their finances. Someone, who either has more than one source of income or has one but earns them good money, wouldn't have a lot of problems. The only thing that might change with inflation is that they won't be able to save as much money as they could before because the cost of living becomes expensive with inflation which means if you had to spend $1,000 a month before, you would have to spend double or triple of that amount now.

This thing can cause a lot of problems for individuals with low incomes because it will make it extremely difficult for them to manage everything with it.

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

You won't always see families understanding this thing, they would demand and say that it's the responsibility of men to provide everything, so they should earn more. I don't disagree with this but I think sometimes things just don't work out, and a family, especially the spouse, should provide moral support in such situations instead of starting quarrels on small things.

With this current economic situation, it is not really easy for almost everyone. Whether you are a bachelor, spinster, or married man, almost everyone is finding it very hard to feed well with this bad economy. As for me, I am not married, but based on the things I have observed around me with those people that are married, honestly, it has caused some fights between husband and wife. As the cost of living goes higher every day, some husbands find it so hard to feed three times daily, and even that causes separation between some husbands and wives.


As I have not yet married, but I am married with this economy situation with my understanding wife that may not fully rely on me, I don't think the situation would be that rough for me. With the money I am spending now, even with a wife, I don't think there will be much difference. As a bachelor, I do always eat outside every day, which I know costs me a lot of money compared to cooking. So, with a wife, if we can cook by buying foodstuffs, it will not cost me as much as buying my daily meals outside.

Well, I am happily married... sure we could have more, but for now we are getting by just fine. Money (too much or lack of money) can cause problems in a relationship, especially if one has too many demands... and when children come most of the money, energy, and time goes to them. There are no parties and hanging out with friends for hours, less sex (many times it starts but stops because of some interruption), and so many things to do as a grown-up can kill the fun. Of course, it's not everything so bad... there are good and shiny moments, but sometimes the highlight of the day is a 30-minute peace in a dry bed, yes a good afternoon nap. If your significant half is willing to give you some time free.

The difficult economic situation affects everyone, but if someone is ready to fight there are no unsolvable problems... that is love, and when it is easy and difficult to be together with someone and solve all the problems that come up. And believe me, there are many different temptations, not only of a financial nature... in the end, love either conquers all that or two people separate. If it comes to that it's always better to be sooner than later.

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.

There are marriages that are beyond financial discussions, and there are ones who have it right on the middle. Like mentioned, some marriages are so close to each other that when they have a financially problem THEY have a financial problem, they consider that as their problem and not his or hers, they do not put the blame on one side or the other, they consider that as something they have to face together, which is why that marriage works and when they end up with more money then THEY end up with more money, want to spoil each other. That is why if you want to have a strong relationship, pick someone who will face everything together. The bigger issue is health, because you will not be healthy forever, you will want someone who can help you when you are sick.

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.

A bad economy will affect marriage, this is a fact. As you said, almost all divorces occur because of a difficult economy, even infidelity occurs because of economic problems. Indeed, in marriage, love and mutual understanding are the main things, but only a few people can be like this, the rest on average finances are number one to maintain the integrity of the household.

Likewise with those who are not married, both bachelors and spinsters, they are not married also because of economic problems that cause them not to be ready to get married until now. Because marriage is not only a matter of love, but marriage requires a lot of money in the future. Daily needs, when pregnant must have a check-up and when giving birth must also use money. Buy diapers, milk, baby porridge using money. Elementary, junior high, high school, and college children also use money. Not to mention paying for electricity, food, and others. With a small salary, of course this will hinder them from getting married.

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.

There's excessive cost of living which has lead to cut of cost and it has to an extend brought about mayhem to the average and below livelihood.
It has as well summoned discomfort of responsible married men whom couldn't meet up with their family needs and has caused a lot of married people regrets as a result of the present economy which has made majority vulnerable.
Right at the moment, marriage has become threatening engagement for the singles because Cartering for oneself at now is being much a big deal and then considering how to stand for a family of your own where you'll be the provider.
Indeed, the current economy situation is being discouraging for marriage.

There are mixed feelings regards this point. Sometimes it's good to be single, otherwise I doubt to be possible to have financial freedom or to achieve financial progression. I believe that if you aren't satisfied with your financial status, you have to try improving this aspect of your life before getting involved with someone else, otherwise you will create a lot of debt, and then you will be very likely unable to progress further in your investments.

On the other hand, if you suddenly find someone special, of course you won't neglect this chance life provided you. So even if there are financial plans in mind, you will probably conciliate it with the presence of the loved one in your life. In every cases, you just have to be careful to not be fooled by a selfish partner, who is only going to drain your forces and energies which are essential to progress in every senses of your existence.

Financial pressure always comes to anyone who has a limited income or is only able to meet daily needs without any left to save. Poor economic conditions require married people to look for side jobs to meet their needs because daily expenses cannot be avoided, besides that, savings are also needed as anticipation if they need funds quickly.
Challenges in life must be faced and solutions must be sought to overcome them, there are still many things that can be done to get out of economic difficulties such as doing several jobs or taking advantage of technological developments to make money. It takes struggle to face difficult times amidst economic difficulties, every problem must have a way out, depending on each individual whether they want to continue to survive in difficulties or want to immediately get out of the slump.

I don't think there are any individuals who want to continue to survive in difficulties with whatever status they currently have, because daily needs that continue to require money will make everyone continue to move in looking for work and continue to work in order to make money. Because as you said, people with low incomes will always find it easier to feel financial pressure in their lives, especially if they don't have additional income that they can use to save in order to make more useful investments for their own future.

Anyone that has family now or is married will definitely have a tough time being sincere because everything is getting expensive, and it might be that the rate of his income as a person with a household is still the same when things are not this expensive, so we all know that it will not be easy for him. Based on my perception, anyone with a household in this season will have to compromise and manage his available resources to sustain his family.
 
Because not even for food but shelter, health care, clothes, and other emergencies, it will definitely not be easy for everyone in such a situation. That is why I always respect people with family because they are really trying to be sincere.
 
So what I will just say to them is to encourage them, and they should do their best in the way that they will try to provide for their families and save their marriage because even the bachelors are not enjoying it.

It will be difficult to see people you can trust in business completely or perhaps you want to give a contract to someone of course they will charge you more. Based on the increase in the price of things, the married and the singles who are ready to get married go as far as lying, adding extra money in the quota they send for their business which limits the level of trust you can have for someone these days.

Its really hard to keep up with the basics things of life. What people are able to do now is to take care of themselves like providing food and shelter. Embarking on a project is difficult.

Do I regret it? No
Because it is useless to regret a decision that has been taken and then just lament it without taking action or making yourself develop better. I mean this economic situation is not once or twice we have gone through but the crisis cycle has existed since the past. We cannot stay in one place, therefore the only way to survive is to develop, improve our abilities. The world is a place of competition to reach the highest place, like it or not that is the fact.

Is bachelors/spinsters status a benchmark for being grateful? No
That's not how it works, because everyone has their own way of being grateful for the life they live.

That's all about surviving nowadays. Most of us are trying to keep with life and only the basic necessities that we need. That's why if you are able to still enjoy yourself with some luxuries or able to treat yourself and family with some extravagant and nice fine dining, you're at a good condition and state of living. Although, it's fine to treat yourself with of course good things in life because you'll never know if you'll still be able to do that the next day.

Our lives are short and if you're treating yourself right and as well as your spouse, it is your responbility. But those that are having a hard time in their source of income and don't have that much cash flow, you need to increase it and try to find ways that you'd be able to provide things and basic needs to your family. Money is most likely the reason why married people are having their fights and misunderstanding.

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.

If you says married you both each other makes a vow that you will stay no matter what happen in your life but of course it depends on you both of your partner if you both have willingness to make changes and to prove that you can manage your relationship not just emotional but also financially, but if just only one party makes its kind of I guess it's kind of different story then.
Also it's matter that you can survive in the economy if you think the relationship is not healthy at all there's nothing to make hold on at all that's why having a partner for life is not just an easy thing you must need to seek who have a grater future in mind.

The man is considered the breadwinner in the family, this is only true when it comes to finances and making money but when it comes to family happiness or how to make the family happy, I don't think the husband can do all. We always mention the role of the man in the family but ignore the role of the wife. If your wife does not sacrifice her youth to give birth to your children, does not raise the children, does not do housework and take care of everything in the family. Can you comfortably and focus full-time on making money? Therefore, women are also playing an important role even though they are not the ones making money.

You are married and have you ever tried to replace your wife with all the housework, taking care of the children, taking care of your elderly parents...? I bet you will never be able to do it because I have tried. Therefore, when choosing a wife, don't focus too much on whether they know how to make money or not, find a woman who knows how to sacrifice her youth for you and your family.

Many problems can arise in marriage. No one can know how this will happen without experiencing these problems. Even if they know each other well, life can sometimes ask them a different question.

Emotions are an important part of marriage, but financial matters are also important. It can be explained with many examples, but the parties in the marriage should make this situation easier for each other. They should know each other's expectations and desires, and in this way they can follow a more comfortable path.

As in the sentence "There is no difficulty that love cannot overcome", people who love each other should overcome the difficulties they encounter together and prevent problems that will come between them.

People should really that anticipate that problem is really that part of our life on which there's no man on this world or women who dont have that such potential problem or simply with marriage.
We do know that when it comes into this aspect then it would really be just that normal that there would really be problems that would really be faced on. It is really just that there are individuals who doesnt really like
to experience problem as if this one is really that possible.Lets say that you do have the money but you do have that uncurable disease or illness then what you would gonna do?
Money isnt everything and this is why on the moment that you are still struggling or lets say that you are really that in average side then be thankful on what you do have.

On the time that you would really be entering marriage then it would really be that just normal that you would really be needing up on getting prepared because on the time
that you do enter such moment of your life then this isnt something that you could take it back. Once you do make yourself shackled then you do already have the responsibilities
on which you would really be needing to fullfill or something that you do need to prioritize on.

A high cost of living is a threat to any life. Because every human being is used to moving in his position when an unusual environmental situation arises it becomes a burden for him. However many people would still be grateful to be single. But the ease of movement he had will not be there if the cost of living is high. But it is true that when a man is under economic pressure his temper will naturally be a little hot or agitated which will make the family stress easy. Therefore to cope with the situation it will be necessary to create new work areas.

[retreat]

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.
