Your life partner is a financial decision too.

[Despairo]

Your post's interesting. We've got culture & society to think about when we're getting married or deciding about our future. The examples you've given can't be the same for ppl in the west  modern countries & africa or asia. Culture plays a role when ppl decide to marry but finance's important.

It's true, but...

Short question: do you agree with me if 40 years old women/divorcees are unlikely to get married and 40 years old men/widowers have higher chance to get married? We're talking about 40 years old men/widowers who have a job, not smoking, and not do drugs.

No need to find global statistics, just check people around you or in your country.

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.

Life partners are sometimes rarely discussed in terms of their influence on a person's financial life. But in reality, a life partner can also determine how someone can maintain success, whether they can build success or vice versa. So yeah, finding the right life partner is very important. Moreover, a life partner is someone who really has to be able to understand what we are fighting for and what we are building too. And likewise we must understand our life partner. We have to find a match between each other. Likewise in terms of financial arrangements in the family. A life partner who understands the importance of financial management is a life partner who can also help us build better finances. But unfortunately it's not as easy as it says. Because the ideal life partner is really not easy to find.

I agree in some societies men wouldn't have difficulties finding wives if they're 40. Some women wouldn't have a problem remarrying if they're 40 it depends where they're living. Societies aren't single minded they don't have identical expectations in every country.

If someone is Man then he should find Woman who are doing job or have enough specialized knowledge and she want to do job. Because working woman will change your economic status and you will enjoy life with her because she will lift most of burden of you and she will be independent woman . If Woman is reading my post then she should person who want to work in life and he enjoys to do work because in many societies, spending is responsibility of man and Man will be responsible for the to things which are happening with the Woman .Financial status matter a lot on life because people always make relationships with people of same status and millions of people are rich and they are comfortable in rich families and poor people have problems in rich families.

I agree in some societies men wouldn't have difficulties finding wives if they're 40. Some women wouldn't have a problem remarrying if they're 40 it depends where they're living. Societies aren't single minded they don't have identical expectations in every country.

The society has opened the eyes of many people and when they have become adults, the age is just a number.
There are women that only looks not only for the love of their lives but also for security in life. And when we mean by security, it's about the provision that they can get from a man that they are about to marry. Whether they're a windower or not, as long as they've got a successful career and they can provide. That doesn't mean they're a gold digger but they're trying to be wise and don't want to experience hardship in life financially while having a partner.

[arabspaceship123]

Men & women are trying to find love of their lives. They don't have to be gold diggers but some ppl want to marry because their partner's financial assets offer security. It isn't only women who're thinking about it men are the same.

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.

There are some women that are very good in partnership; for example, if you're a businessman and you get a woman who also has experience in every aspect of the business, you will never have issues with your business's finances. Because this woman will be helping you control your finances and make your business grow more than your expectations.

But there are some women that you will regret meeting in life, because some, once they see that you have money, will create a plan on how they will rule your money over you instead of helping you build your resources. But they won’t; they will only find a way to destroy your wealth. That’s why we should be very careful with the kind of women we mingle with.

[coupable]

Men & women are trying to find love of their lives. They don't have to be gold diggers but some ppl want to marry because their partner's financial assets offer security. It isn't only women who're thinking about it men are the same.

First, finding a life partner doesn't always mean finding love. Marriage has other unspoken goals, some of which are agreed upon and others are achieved later over time. Many people marry to have children as part of their retirement plans, believing these children will be required to care for their parents when they grow old (traditional societies). Similarly, some marry because they need to marry within social protocol, especially those of high social standing who want to show off their partners (kinda escort).

Second, it's true that many marry for the sake of their partner's money and savings, but the ratios are not close to those between men and women. In traditional societies, men are obligated to provide for their wives and bear financial responsibility, including their needs, even if the wife works or has sufficient income to support herself. In other words, women are more likely to choose marriage based on financial criteria and personal gain.

There is strictness but being wholesome is what we want and also, of course being a wife material.

[Outhue]

This topic is funny and so is many replies on here, many of you guys just decide to push aside the reality. Even advisors online became the victim, who told you that you can have a life partner that you wished for? This thing is not something anyone can just decide, it's based on luck totally.

Do you not respect the word that says " change is constant"? This is happening almost everywhere in the world today, love is now a business venture unlike the old days, it's something you can't choose right or wrong, you need to be lucky.

Women especially changes very fast, we get bored so fast, my gender have many flaws that sometimes I am ashamed myself, many get married to survive and they play along all in the name of love, I really pity men out there, the smart ones don't even want to get married again, they prefer having kids only and their mistress.

[arabspaceship123]

Finding a life partner's got be about finding love. If ppl marry with out love their life's going to be empty. They'll get finance security they'll have money & house but they'll be empty inside their heart.

 Love-Based Decision
For many people, choosing a life partner is primarily an emotional and relational act. It’s about:
Connection and emotional support
Shared values, goals, and dreams
Companionship and intimacy
A desire to build a life together through mutual love
Love often drives the initial attraction and commitment. Without it, a relationship may feel hollow or forced.

Finding a partner is a also Financial & Practical Decision
At the same time, partnerships affect your whole life — including finances. So it’s also:
A merging of financial habits, responsibilities, and goals
A factor in long-term stability (housing, children, career decisions, etc.)
A consideration of debt, income, lifestyle expectations, and risk tolerance
Ignoring the financial side can lead to stress, conflict, or even separation, even if love is strong.

Love should lead, but wisdom should guide.
The healthiest relationships come from people who:
Love deeply, but
Communicate honestly, and
Build with awareness of the life they want to create, emotionally, practically, and financially.

But we do know that not all man will be that wanting for their woman to do the job even if it shows that she has a work before they get married but it would be coming into a point that the man will definitely be that commanding on stopping on going to work and would be focusing into family handling instead. Its not that showing some sort of degrading or belittling your wife or partner but rather we do have that kind of confidence and contentment if we husband or man will be able to provide everything for our family. Somehow, its not bad to consider out that both of you having that work on which it will be that decreasing up the workload of the husband but since we do have our own principles in life as a man then you would definitely be that prefer on having a wife on which it would be staying on your home and would be taking care of your kids. For sure this will be that the thing that you do want to have when you do get married. Life partner, wife or whatever it would be on which its someone whom with you for the rest of your life on which it will be that coming into those bad times or good times. Making up decisions should be done together on which hearing up each other suggestions about ways and methods do really build up that strong relationship into each other. For financial matters on which we can say that this will be the most important thing to discuss in together with your partner then this is something that you do need up to talk and plan it well because it is for the sake of future of your family. We do know on how crucial it would be on making up some plans into this aspect. Your wife isnt just that only your partner when it comes to financial matters but also it is your partner on everything for the rest of your life. It will be just that depending on how you would be giving out some importance into them because not all husbands do have this kind of consideration and just that wanting to shoulder all by themselves about on handling or raising up the family on which it isnt bad, but its totally different if both you and your wife will be doing it together.

If you end up with a partner that is not emotionally invested in your feelings, you will suffer financially and also your life may suck especially if you are the type that put your partner before anyone. People might think that I'm selfish but I put myself before anyones daughter, I will do the same when I have kids too, they will be my priority but that doesn't mean I wouldn't invest in my partner but doing it isn't with hope that I get something in return so that if she show her feminine color in the future, I wouldn't even look at her behavior or hurt my feelings.

I still don't know how people cope with marriage that wife get 50% of husband property but I'm not going to ever settle for any of that, it's not in my lifestyle to go broke because of one woman. Have seen marriage of 15 months dissolve and Judge rule in favor of a woman and there is nothing you can do about it. Marriage only favor the other gender and there isn't nothing for the man except the kids they get which ofcourse is a blessing to both parents.

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.

To achieve financial prosperity, both men and women have to fulfill their responsibilities equally. Sometimes, even if women cannot directly help a man, they can help a man reach the peak of financial success by sharing their knowledge through their words. But for this, that man must find a good life partner, otherwise the opposite of his expectations may happen in that man's life. There are some women who have enough knowledge about how to use money to create more wealth, while there are some women who give more priority to wasting money and spending. If possible, then before building a relationship, one must find out a good woman.

We're all grown up to realize if we're just being sucked out for our financial or we're playing unnotice just because of love.
And I think that you're speaking for those dads that have found a new partner and having his children from her former.

I still don't know how people cope with marriage that wife get 50% of husband property but I'm not going to ever settle for any of that, it's not in my lifestyle to go broke because of one woman.

This is easy to solve, just sign a NDA agreement or a prenuptial agreement.

That doesn't mean they're a gold digger but they're trying to be wise and don't want to experience hardship in life financially while having a partner.

You're right to an extent but these kind of women that look out for such security as you outlined should also have something to give too, yea we all know that provision for the family is a sole responsibility of a man, the women is like a supporter but on a good understanding and arrangement, the women should also know her own responsibilities as she is coming in, am not against any woman that want to marry a man to look out of the man can make provision of what she needs but this need shouldn't also be over burdened and another thing is that as she is expecting all this thing she should also know that to whom much is given, much is also expected, that's life and nature as such we can't cheat it another thing is that we can't always have our way 100%, we will have to atleast sacrifice about 20% to 30% out the earlier becasue in as much we know that  women that think this way or want this things you mentioned for themselves are not gold diggers as you said, i still maintain that they should have somethig to offer too because some men wouldn't want to bring in lability to their house too

That joke hits hard because there’s a lot of truth in it and the person you pick to build a life with actually does effect more than just your emotions, it affects your financial stability and future too. A helpful and financially aware spouse can help you grow and build together but the wrong one can pull everything down. People typically neglect this portion when talking about money decisions but it’s actually one of the largest ones you’ll ever make

[bakasabo]

I agree that life partner is a financial decision, but that mostly related to men, as they suppose to responsible for finances in family, wife, partner. Before getting married or live in civil marriage, a person should pay attention to expenses and behavior of second half. It should be a real a deliberate decision to marry to live together with someone, if for instance that person loves to spend or does not love to earn or work. Imo a man for example must weigh the advantages and disadvantages if he is able to contain his wife, if she loves to spend a lot on clothes, beauty, spa and etc.

[Hedis]

The spouse you choose can either be your biggest asset or your largest liability in life. People frequently separate relationships from finances but they are strongly interwoven and the wrong person can drain you emotionally and financially without even meaning to. On the other side the perfect spouse gives stability support and inspiration that can help you grow in every area including money. It’s not only about love or attraction it’s about long term alignment and similar ideals. Choosing wisely truly does make all the difference.
