Marriage Future Financial Arrangement.

So what's your suggestions or what's your take on this!

Well, finding a normal, reasonable, and stable partner makes everything easier... All arrangements & agreements will come naturally. For example, my wife has a degree in economics, so it's "natural" that she takes care of bills and many other stuff related to finances. We do things as we feel we need to do them, with good communication and understanding. We are married, but we don't have any other "formal" arrangement about our finances, house, and things like that...

Discussions is the key to manage all things if you getting married. You can't do by yourself and needs your spouse. You can split the things with her/him so you can do better to your small family. But that will not easy to manages together because both of you needs time to join two heads and have one goal. Maybe years before you and your spouse will have agreement to your family but that is worth to do.

If the financial is the matters, you can discuss how you can earns more money. You now have someone who can helps you thinks about the matters so you need to share many things and solve it together. Don't feels embarrassed to talk about it to reach an agreement.

Ironically enough, people when they are not married they believe they will not need to set those things up and make clear which roles are supposed to be taken by each one of the parties of the marriage, but sadly when a divorce happens they regret not have gotten things clearer, both financially and emotionally.
Nobody wants their marriage to go bad or end in bad terms, so they do not prepare for those things, but I believe it is a responsible thing to do; to get oneself ready for those situations.

It is kind of like using one's car seat belt while driving. Nobody wants to crash their car and get hurt, but we all get ready for it when we use security measures and when we pay for car insurance.

The planning can always be done before or after the marriage. Preferably, I think it should be done after the marriage.

In a situation where it is done before the marriage, and both parties do not agree on a common interest, the marriage preparation might come to a halt. If it is done after the marriage, they will surely come to a decision that pleases both parties. However, in a case like this, the woman is always the problem. Most women believe, my money is mine, while your money is our's.

It looks like you are only targeting men by your questions because frequently women aren't the side that opens topics about financial management before the mariage. Personally, I will suggest a financial plan to manage family budget from both incomes me and her because I refuse to marry a jobless woman for several reasons.

This is true nowadays; it seems that it is no longer advisable for only men to contribute money to the family. Partners in life need to help each other if they want a better future for the family they are going to build. If only one person earns money, they end up in a bad situation that ends up in a divorce because they often run out of money. I know many families who always have issues with money in their marriage. After all, it can be easily resolved if the two of you help each other to get through life, and, in fact, it will even make everyone's work easier if things are done that way.

Financial arrangement is one thing. But for me, one of the most important things you need to assess before getting married is your financial capacity. Marriage life and starting your own family is big responsibility and both of you need to be prepared of how things can be so expensive once you entered this phase.

Having financial arrangement that you both agreed on is important for the both of you to have a smooth and happy post marriage life. Cause most of the time, family or spouses tends to fight a lot over money and budget. It’s important that both of you are on the same page regarding finances before gettung married.

Before getting  married you need to talk about  your future financial arrangements with your intended spouse now.You can do this by considering some of these questions, Like how will our income be budgeted? Will we have a joint bank account or separate accounts? Which spouse will be more adept at keeping  financial records  and seeing that bills are paid? How much money can one of us spend on a purchase without consulting the other?
            So what's your suggestions or what's your take on this!

prenup is necassary otherwise things nowdays turns very serious and disappointing especially for males because they lose more, have to pay child support and sometimes the mortage too. They have to face more than the partner as a matte of fact their divorce is a happy ending for the femal partner while a dead end for male partner.

Therefore discussing this before is necassary and even in joke never agrees to some agreements that are being filmed and you think she is joking and won't sue you later things get really ugly when it comes to the court. Remember first it is love but once things gets bad even if the girl is wrong, you will cry. Be safe and name everyhing to your mother haha.

couples should really consider having a prenuptial agreement that dictates what's theirs and what's not this might seem unromantic to some but this is the reality and a good way to protect yourself just in case things happen

it's not unromantic.. it's practical!!

Besides, I think the most important thing is a real commitment to your partner. One of you should be financially responsible, it's that simple. Many men, especially husbands, can be a bit reckless with spending, and some couples are no exception. But if at least one partner understands finances, leaks are easy to spot and fix.

Ultimately, you want a partner who knows how to protect and safeguard the fruits of your husband's labor, not someone who lets them slip away.

I agree with you, I saw an article about this popular boxer, Anthony Joshua, saying any woman that will gonna get married to him will surely undergo prenup agreement before marriage, and then many women aren't ready for this. He said.
This day women aren't ready to spend in marriage, they want men to take their responsibility while they sit and do nothing. Anyway, the only woman ready for this should be able to submit under the leadership of men and track every income, save and then establish themselves. Women knows how to do that.

Is because he is wealthy that is why, he knows he might not find a genuine person he would marry but meanwhile a woman who loves him for whom he is and not because of those material things will not think away because of that agreement but however those kind of agreement should only be accepted by a lady if it also has some penalty against the man, regarding if they are the one that gets tired of the marriage so that the woman will not go back home with an empty years of nothing, this are prenup agreement that meakes more sense on this case.

How many woman can marry him for whom he is as you said not his money, the percentage will be very small, the modern world is full with women that are entitled, women that feels that it is the total obligations of a man to keep spending and even if they man don't have, he should look for a way to make sure that he keeps spending that is how majority of women out there thinks, hey man get this thing straight, am not saying all women are entitled but majority of them, before you see Anthony Joshua come up with such idea who knows what he has experienced, he might have gone through some things.

There are many important things that must be carefully put into consideration before getting married, and one of the most essential is setting clear financial arrangements. Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and it requires proper planning, responsibility and understanding from both partners. Financial discussions help couples understand how they will manage income, savings, expenses, debt and future investments together. When financial expectations are not clearly discussed, it can lead to misunderstandings, tension and unnecessary conflicts in the marriage.

This is why it is important to marry with understanding and to truly know your partner. Understanding each other's financial habits, goals, priorities and attitudes toward money builds trust and stability. Marriage is not only about attraction or emotions, it also involves practical responsibilities like budgeting, managing emergencies, planning for children and preparing for the future. The couples that communicate openly about lifestyle, money and expectations are more likely to build a strong and peaceful home.

It's a welcome idea, as a man and a business oriented person before you step into a relationship endeavor to search for a girl that has positive mindset towards business. Once you are able to meet up with any, sit her down let her know the kind of business you are into ask for her idea, because some ladies are so good in business. Some of them know what it's takes to make business grow fast, at times they do use their gender to win contract even if company are not willing to partner with you they do persuade them to. Women are so good in advertising business to customers with hyping, even if the business doesn't worth they do make it look good in eyes of customers. So it's a nice idea to partner with your spouse.

You're right that shared financial vision matters. But I'd add that digging into daily money habits early on is huge too. Like, how do you both actually handle budgets week-to-week?
What about joint accounts versus separate ones?

And spending limits - big purchases can cause real friction if you don't talk it out upfront. Those little everyday decisions pile up fast, same as long-term stuff.
Getting it all out in the open early just saves headaches down the road.

The dating part will give you time and chance to really get to know you partner. What you see during the dating part is what you will get when you get married so once you see red flags, consider thinking twice about marriage because you guys might not be on the same page.
