The economic dimension of marriage

[Die_empty]

I hear stories of people marrying solely because of love. People get married without considering the financial strength or capability of their partners. But these days, people are beginning to consider the financial status of their partners before marrying them. The global financial crisis has caused inflation, and the price of goods and services is getting higher every day. People are seeking means to overcome financial hardship. Except for those who are very rich, but others are seeking support from partners.

Currently, people want to get spouses who can contribute to the family financially. I am not saying it is wrong to marry solely because of love, but people are also considering the financial capacity of a person before they fall in love. Truthfully, I don't know what I would have done without my wife. Her financial and moral support has been what has kept our family afloat. I loved her, but her financial discipline, handwork and creativity made me love her more.

As I said before, I am not saying loving unconditionally is wrong or no longer exists. But I am saying the people are also considering the economic dimension of marriage before commitment.

Should the economic dimension be considered before choosing a partner?

To marry solely because you love a person is not enough in these current economic times where inflation is the order of the day, because money is what sustains love in a relationship with a promising future.

When there's money from both partners or both share same financial habits and consciousness, there's going to be balance, peace of mind, mutual support to assist growth and creativity in the mix of things. That's why financial discipline from both partners is very paramount.

If you care about the future of the family you intend to build, having both partners who understand great financial management practices is the pillar or better still, the foundation on which the marriage would thrive to last and that's why the economic dimension of any relationship, that is, of both partners and in this case marriage, is key to marriage success and fulfillment.

Whether this will be considered or not should be a determination that has to be settled during courtship and before marriage, because in this period, you both live together to understand each other, know how you could plan your marriage together, and have your expectations crossed alongside each other.

It won't be a surprise when you know that your wife can also be independent or not because you would have been used to everything about her before marriage and the same applies to the husband, this is all about understanding and nothing more, one has to be dependent on each other, or both work together to make the marriage work.

Even if I were very rich, I would want my wife to work or have a business. I just hate the idea of a woman depending solely on the man for everything. There's a kind of respect a man accords his wife if she brings something to the table.

Love alone cannot sustain a family. If for whatever reason the man loses his job or becomes so ill that he cannot provide for the family, who will take care of the family for the time being until he gets back on his feet? Love is very important; I will not dispute that, but so is finance. It's vital to marry someone who's working or has a business, not a full-time housewife.

Of course, the economic dimension before marriage must be considered, even though you are married, Maybe you don't need to consider the economic dimensions of marriage if you lived in the time of Romeo and Julia in the 19th century, but not anymore, we live in an era of technology that requires money, the economy is dictated by circumstances.

After marriage you are required to have two phases.
1. initiation fee. What is called wedding costs/dowry.
2. household economics, this is what is important in the long term.

You cannot avoid these two phases, so the point is that the economic dimension of marriage must be considered and is important.

Honestly, people are actually marrying because of the financial capability of their partner. Love is dead. I say so because love doesn't care if you have or not. Once one begins to care, love is dead. It might be there, but it won't be as strong as it should be.

Well, it is also not bad to look for a partner who can assist financially. But I think the main focus should be their financial habits and discipline. You can see a partner with financial capability who lacks discipline and good financial habits. Imagine your spouse receiving her salary and using at least 70% of it on material things without having a business or anything on the ground.

That person is financially capable but lacks financial discipline. Inasmuch as we are looking for that financially supportive partner, check their habits.
If one is only looking for a financial partner, that person is marrying for money. Let's just be sincere with ourselves.

[Merit.s]

It's good to marry someone who's also determined to get money on her own and not a lazy type because such girls will always motivate you financially. However, you don't consider if the person is rich or poor what you look at is the mindset of the person towards financial growth because someone that is poor today can become very rich tomorrow. Therefore, financial stability isn't a criterion before you get married to the person.

Some people brings good luck to their partners whatever, they lay their hands on progress when they come together and have the same goal.

[DPHOR]

You are right but if we want to look into it biblically you would see that marriage is also a blessing from God "Proverbs 18:22 and it's says; whoso ever findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor in the sight of the Lord".
Usually, anyone who got married properly with the wife surely obtain favor in the sight of the Lord and you could be surprised how you would be that prosperous or even having jobs that you didn't expect because you married properly. If the person do not Break any vow then they surely have that favor, and of course it's good to consider since most people do not have that faith or most women can't endure.

There is a popular saying that "love is not enough" and that is totally true. You wouldn't want to marry a spouse that is more like a liability than actually contributing to the marriage, that type of marriage would end after much exhaustion from either partner.

In the olden days, they marry housewives that take care of the house and children but modern day marriage is a bit different. This difference is really an innovative one that gives more value to the marriage than making it feel like a sole responsibility and that reduces the pressure on the man too.

I don't know if you were avoiding to sound sexiest or maybe it's different in your country but the reality is that before men do not consider the financial status of their wife to be before getting married to them, men would only consider their own financial status but with women it is different a woman would consider the financial status of their husband to be, and I don't blame them if what the want is something realistic for them and their future happy home.
Now things are changing because now Men are also looking at the financial status of their wife to be or at least the potential to make money from their jobs, we have men now wanting to marry working ladies even very demanding works like nursing, law, medicine.

You must not agree to leave the building and sleep on the street. It may not be possible to find young people who can sleep on the street anymore. What I am trying to say is that you must struggle and compromise to survive from a high-wealth family to a low-wealth family. Even when you leave one family and enter another family with the trust of only one person, it is not a crime to seek security for the future.

Not everyone in the world is honest and not everyone is dishonest. Some are choosing a partner based on money, especially in today's world, most women/men choose their partners out of greed for money. But there are still women/men who choose their life partner only out of love with little economic security. The world is very diverse, so the events will also be diverse.

[WatChe]

Everyone has its own opinion about choosing the life partner but I think scenario changes once you get married and have kids. I have seen females starting job after marriage to support family while there are females who quit job just because they want to take care of kids and the house. To me kids are very important and I earn enough to support my family, that's why I don't want my spouse to work because we want to give more and more attention to our kids. In case you both work, the kids are not able to get parents attention they required.

No, people are not beginning to think of the financial or economic implications of marriage. They've been doing it for decades and even centuries, nothing about it is a new invention. In some countries having children, usually connected with marriage, acts like a plan for retirement or protection for the parents in old age. In other countries being married can come with benefits like protecting the partner in the event of death and giving greater financial connections between those two people. Love is just one of many factors the most sensible people consider - sometimes marriage is avoided even if love is there, because the person might be unfit or incompetent in other parts of life that don't offset it.

So was she working before you fell in love with her or did you fall in love with her because she was working and earning money. I don't know where you live because in many countries including mine as well, spouses don't work, they take care of the home as housewives and before anyone calls us or these countries misogynists, let me tell you guys that they are not. Instead it depends on the culture, the women in question and the family because everyone has their roots they follow and everyone has their norms which they follow on their own, so it is optional.

But considering that spouses in countries usually don't work and are housewives, it does not mean they suffer the most, but with increasing inflation it has become a huge burden for the husband. My father has worked alone, he has not only supported us but his parents too, but once we started to earn we became a support for him.

Anyway, it is good to consider a wife who can support you financially but don't make it a permanent thing that later your kids come to you saying they want to marry a girl but that girl is not working and you don't support them.

Finance plays an important role in this present time; marriage and love are not enough because love can never pay the bills. Marriage is not just about love, but finance is very important, which every partner needs to consider to move forward. Money will make you a better husband or a better wife. Before now, when inflation was not as serious as it is now, couples without good income got married and happily lived together, but in this era, it is no longer how it used to be. Even couples with income are still struggling; then talk about those who are not even good earners—how will they be able to manage the family? Considering finance is very important because it may affect the kids in the marriage. Marriage is all about a group of people; the kids need to be considered along with the man and the woman because the lack of money can frustrate one, and you will see partners who once cared for each other starting to get irritated by one another.

I would say that the financial aspect should definitely be considered while looking for a partner. But this does not mean that someone has to be very rich. The real issue is whether he has any plans for the future or whether he can stand by you in difficult times. Because real life does not run only on emotions, there is also a practical aspect to the world. And of course love is important, but financial discipline and mutual support are also very important. Many people run a family beautifully even with a low income, because they support each other. So to me, mindset and stability seem more important than income.

Yep, I agree with you bro and I feel where you are coming from, you also don't mean this that seriously that when you find a girl with no job you don't prefer her because love is usually based on other things naturally, not on the money or job they have.

Love is a feeling which I also don't know how to define here but when you love someone you just care for them, so if you care for them more than you care for yourself, then you know you love them, and if they do the same for you, that's good then. But usually there are people who can't do love marriages, they only prefer arranged marriages.

So, in arranged marriages either spouse gets more options, they want everything in their partner and they don't just want but they demand that their partner should be making that much, should be living in their own house, have no family because girls normally want to live with their husband, they don't want their family to be living in the same house. So when girls are given arranged marriage choice they make a lot of demands, but their parents know better so that's why they are not given complete power but enough to say yes or no, which they respect and that matters a lot.

Anyway this is not the same everywhere in the world, things are different according to the culture, religion and region.

If you don't want your family to get starve, always consider the economic dimension before marriage, not just for your partner but most specifically on your part as well because men should serve as the head and provider of the family. But it's the best feeling too that aside from you, your wife or spouse is also earning well and value hard work and commitment in order to achieve financial progress and stability in the future.

Marriage nowadays is not just motivated by love alone but also understanding with each other's weakness and strengths. If you happen to lose your job in the future, at least the pressure to recover and survival won't create too much pressure because you have your wife that is making a sustainable flow of income while you are still in the process of looking for a good source of income as well.

It seems that for now conditions and circumstances especially in terms of economics make everything realistic especially in relationships but this can be a good thing, not that this is without love but on the one hand we will also not be able to get any benefits if love is used as a starting point because in life when we already have a partner love alone will not be enough to make us live properly.

Indeed marriage must have love in it but for now love alone is not enough and I agree with you not unconditional love disappears for now but we also need other things that must be considered including for finances before we decide to get married because don't let after marriage we actually have more fights with our partners just because of financial reasons.

[Akbarkoe]

The economy must be considered by both men and women before marriage it is a must because after marriage we need better living expenses, marrying for love is also no problem as long as your partner wants to fight for you as well as possible, especially the best case in terms of good economy and from the person you already love it will be something better than just looking at the material angle or love alone, if you have not met the qualifications that are standardized by a partner then it is better to work and try first to improve yourself and your economy.
