Your life partner is a financial decision too.

[Stepstowealth]

Amongst the list of good economic decisions to make personally, getting a good partner is one of them although it is often exempted from the list and not mentioned.

I came across something that should have been funny and a joke, but I could not ignore it. Something about a woman bragging about making her husband a millionaire, and anyone hearing it would have been impressed at how virtuous and smart she is, but when asked what the man was before she met him, she said a "multi millionaire". Apparently that is the joke, but a serious look at that will tell you that the person you choose to spend the rest of your life with as a man and a woman will affect your finances.

A good man/woman will increase and help you multiply the resources you have, a bad man/woman will diminish your resources. This is why choosing should be done carefully.

A good man/woman will increase and help you multiply the resources you have, a bad man/woman will diminish your resources. This is why choosing should be done carefully.

These are some of the qualities a partner should have that could help financially:
1. Hardwork: Getting married to.someone who is lazy will place much financial burden on you. With the global harsh economic condition, everyone needs financial support from partners.

2. Contentment: Some people are wasters. Partners that can manage the meager resources of the family are highly needed. Some people don't mind taking loans to satisfy their lavish wants.

3. Employed: Except you have enough funds to take care of all the needs of the family.  Marital partners should have skills that can assist them in earning money that can help the family financially.

If you stop acting like love and money are two different things, this isn't controversial at all. Merge bank accounts, merge life paths, either way, liabilities and assets flow both directions. Most people believe they are choosing their partner, but what they're really doing is putting a lot of money on their future stress, inability to pay their bills, and missed opportunities. What no one ever tells you: "love" turns into a free course in handling crises, planning tasks, and allocating resources

People say "marry well" as if it were a platitude, but it's actually a hard economic fact that's hidden behind Instagram posts. People say that dating today is "freer" than ever, but try telling your next date that they need to pass a psychology test and an Excel stress test. Watch everyone move, and then take notes in silence. It's possible that love is really just a business deal, and the only real trouble is pretending it's not

Marriage is a match from God that cannot be denied, and the success of a husband is thanks to prayer, good attitude, motivation and other good things from his wife and I really believe in that because I feel it.

And in my opinion, to be able to know whether our partner can help, motivate and also be patient enough in going through it will be seen when before marriage or when still dating. Because both of them must have known each other's good and bad and can also be easily guessed when the marriage occurs and its journey, unlike a relationship that is too fast and married because both parties do not know each other yet which has the potential to cause too many arguments that can affect finances or sources of income that will be neglected and even have the potential to divorce. However, if both are truly a match from God then everything will be fine even though financially it is only enough, and if a husband has other skills or continues to try to have other income because the husband loves his partner or family, it will motivate him to improve his finances.

There is a saying about "for every successful man, there is a woman behind". And it's about the support that the spouses give to their partners and it's true.

Also, it could also be your worst nightmare if you marry the wrong person.

AFAIK, in the US, it costs a lot to arrange divorce and you'll have to give equal wealth to your about to-be former partner. So, be wise on whom you marry.

This is right because family is something that influence how far we go in life. There no better way of putting the fact that ones partner should an asset that will help the man or the woman grow. If as a man you marry someone whose is unproductive and can handle good business, you will find out what burden she represent I that family. She may not  even be able to  properly guide your children in rhe aspect of financial education.

Choosing a good partner is really a nice decision because it will influence your financial situation, whether negatively or positively. If your partner is someone who is financially educated, definitely you both will go far in life. Furthermore, a partner shouldd be hard-working, and it will also boost your financial stability because definitely he or she is going to help you multiply your income, whether it is business or any other thing.

I have seen a couple where the husband is a civil servant and opens a restaurant for the wife because the husband was looking for a way to make the wife more comfortable financially, and with that, the wife becomes more comfortable and dependent; she uses the money to meet her needs without bothering the husband, and the husband also collects money from her to get some things done.

There's a reason it's called "partner". You're supposed to make decisions together, have the same goals and grow together. You can't be partners if both are just doing their own things separately, like they're not partners. There needs to be understanding.
'Two good heads are better than one, they said. What people always forget about this quote is the word "good". There's no point in having two heads if only one is good or if both are bad. So when choosing a partner, it has to be a good head.
A good partner cannot be overestimated. It makes life in general easier, not just the finances.

[mindrust]

Choosing your partner carefully isn’t enough. You need to make a deal (prenup) with him/her before you get married to protect yourself. Why? Because people change. We all do. If you want to avoid the possibility of getting cheated financially by your spouse, you need to convince him/her to sign a prenup. If he/she doesn’t like the idea, then she/he is definitely not the person you are looking for. No need to waste more time on that person.

There are many people who thought they found the perfect person to marry. Many regret not signing a prenup now. Safety first.

When a person finds someone to live with for the rest of their life, they should know that this person will be with them every moment of their life and realize that they will be influential in every decision they make. When making financial decisions, you should seek advice from your spouse and make the right decision for both of you. To avoid financial disagreements, you should be careful when making decisions and always listen to each other's opinions during and after the decision.

No one can make perfect financial decisions and the consequences of the decisions should not affect your life with your spouse. Considering the possible consequences and supporting each other when making decisions will take you to a better place in every sense.

If you are a woman, I agree with this, because usually women think more realistically, they are no longer looking for a handsome man, they are no longer looking for true love, but they are looking for a man who is able to fulfill their needs, be it clothing, shelter, or food. Especially if the woman is a career woman, she will be completely dependent on her husband to fulfill her needs.

And if you are a man, I disagree with that, because the financial decision is in your hands, you are the one who will be the leader of the family and you are also responsible and must ensure that the family's financial condition will be fine. and that is why most men when they want to get married, usually they look for a partner who truly loves them, and who wants to be guided, not about appearance or wealth. and in the end a man will marry someone who loves him, not the person he loves.

There are many proverbs that say that a partner is a reflection of ourselves, so if we want to get a good partner then we must also behave well, if we want to get a hard-working partner then we must also be hard-working, and if we want to get a stable partner then we must also be financially stable.

I just want to remind you, sometimes we want a good partner, but we always forget to improve ourselves. So it would be wise if before starting and choosing a life partner, we improve ourselves and our financial condition first. So in other words, show our self-esteem before judging our prospective partner, so that we have a measure of someone who will later become our life partner. if you have value I am sure the partner you will get later will also have the same value.

A man and a woman coming together shouldn't just depend on love and physical appearance. If this is the only consideration and the financial aspect (hardworking) is neglected, I'm very sure there will be so many problems in the future. You can't neglect finance in marriage or in a serious relationship because these involve so much responsibility. After all the personality one wants from their partner, the financial ability should also be considered. It is not as if one must go for someone who is very rich and doing well financially only, but even if the person is financially stable, at least one needs to know if the person has the potential to create value.

That’s because it’s often seen as a shallow thing to look at the financial capabilities of a person you are supposed to love. Besides it’s hard to connect to people who’s not in the same league as you so people who are poor don’t often marry rich and rich people don’t often marry poor. You’d have to be rich first yourself then find a good partner.

A good man/woman will increase and help you multiply the resources you have, a bad man/woman will diminish your resources. This is why choosing should be done carefully.

This is correct and honestly underrated. Might sound cynical and unromantic but in this economy? Lol. We need to do better.

[Sanitough]

I could certainly agree with this. To marry is to multiply, that’s what I often hear that simply tells that not only you will focus on planning potential children but also on creating more bundle of joy like multiplying the number of your joined assets and increasing the amount of your savings account, both individual and conjugal.

With this, we can reflect that marriage is a perfect start to double the efforts and even triple the joy you have while you’re still single. This leads me to the fact that our life partner is also one of the best financial decisions too.

Behind every successful man there is always a woman behind them, and also behind every successful woman there is always a man behind them as well, but the life sometimes doesn't always ends as we like. Most times we find ourselves with different person who has a separate vision aside what you are thinking, for a family or a wo/man to become successful the both parties most walk in the same like direction and vision; with this you see them becoming that quickly successful than any other thing. I can also sight an examples of the Igbo's, they are always united in a business that is why in business line today the people who are quickly successful are the Igbo's because they both love business, team together as one easily make them becoming that richer. Marrying a woman who doesn't have same vision with you is like having cold water stocked inside your mouth and expect the cold to get heated so you could used the water to make a tea to take for yourself, which we know is never possible. When find such people marrying together is either the man who was a multi-millionaire sink down to what we can't expect or even crawling because they aren't having same like vision.

Your life partner is an investment too. Whatever he/she is capable of doing, learn to optimize it so that whatever the result is, both of you will benefit. You don’t just marry for love and affection, but also for future fulfillment of dreams and goals, and financial security and freedom are already included.

This is the reason why we don’t have to rush finding our future life’s partner. This isn’t a race, but rather an investment that we should carefully and wisely deal in life.

[stadus]

That’s true -- you really need to find a partner who respects your vision in life, especially when it comes to finances. It’s important to be with someone who’s not just good at saving, but also has the wisdom to invest and grow money.

If I relate it to my personal experience, I honestly didn’t think about any of that when I got married. I was young, not financially stable yet. But as I got older and had kids, I realized how important financial security is for having real freedom in life.

Now, I’m still learning and actively investing. And as the man of the house, I believe I should take responsibility and make the final decisions when it comes to securing our future.

[_BlackStar]

Having the right partner is every man's dream when getting married. A partner should understand and know how he needs to be a support system for his own partner - not only about work, but in anything. He may not be as perfect as we expect - but at least he supports and is always there to make his partner grow.

There are indeed some women who only like to enjoy rather than be a support system for their partners. They never care and are involved in their partner's struggle to improve their financial condition - they are only there to spend their partner's money. Such couples basically do not live peacefully - the man must be very stressed and feels that he never gets the support he expects.

Getting a good wife means that a man will be well ahead financially. A life partner means that a good wife can have a huge impact on the decisions he makes in life, by evaluating, encouraging, and giving importance to their implementation, etc. A good wife can create a balance sheet of a husband's income and expenses and, according to that sheet, a good wife seriously encourages her husband on how to spend and thus save the remaining money.

In short, getting a good wife means making a husband financially independent and playing a leading role in spending the rest of his life happily. Many times a husband cannot personally take decisions alone, in which case an educated and good wife helps the husband in making the right decisions.
