The economic dimension of marriage

[Pablo-wood]

I don't even think someone with the mindset and the knowledge of financial stability will allow themselves to fall in love with someone that is deficit, liking someone Is different but falling in love with them entails alot of boxes that has to be ticked. Atleast if someone wants to marry someone with less financial freedom, it has to be someone they has the zeal and means to earn better in the nearest future.

This is what we keep telling ourselves only to settle down with financially stable spouses and end up filling for divorce due to crazy reasons. Loving someone has nothing to do with money, those who mistake love for financial security are only trying to secure their own stomach and desires. True love shouldn't be based on material substances because partners can come together and build the exact future the desire for themselves even when they have nothing before they met.

Yes absolutely, love is never enough to keep a home running for a long period of time as bill's has to be paid, rent, school fees, health bill's, feeding and so on, and all these will be so tiring just for one person to shoulder all that responsibility loving your partner isn't bad but then having or discussing about money shouldn't be looked away as the price of commodities keep increasing on daily basis.

Without economic considerations at the long run in any Union love can be exhausting, hence the reason why both partners should engage in something and most importantly life happens so if one falls, the other can support till his/her partner pick up again. Marriage is partnership both parties are to support each other and see how they can share responsibilities together.

That's right, any marriage is tested solely by how partners can support each other in trouble. And this is the most important point in family life. If they are indifferent to each other and are not ready to sacrifice anything for each other, then they will never have a family. It's easy for everyone who has money to live, and I don't think that such cases test the family in any way. But when money is bad, the family decides on saving money, making extra money, and so on. It's difficult, and that's the true test.
Even after twenty years, a rich family may not be strong. And two months later, a poor family can prove its strong relationship.

Everyone have their expectations of how their marriage should  be, In as much as everyone is fighting to become financially stable in today's world,talking about economic dimensions of marriage some people might not want their spouses to work and others will want so that finances would not be an issue , it's just to talk about it. They are people that will want to give full time attention to their kids and because of this would not want their spouse to work , this is quite very cool as far as ones person income can cover all what is needed. While some in the other hands want their partners to work and  be financially stable, either ways work depending on what decision you choose in your marriage  as far as everyone comes together to manage and use whatever resources you have for the betterment and achieve the needs of the family.

It's true that many people are now starting to consider their partner's or their family's wealth. If we find a wealthy wife or a wealthy family, we'll likely have less difficulty in life, especially financially. However, I believe this is a condition where we love each other, as otherwise, things will be complicated.

However, I personally believe it's better to evaluate a potential wife based on her honesty and kindness. It's pointless if she's not kind, as we'll be uncomfortable in our marriage, even if our wife is wealthy. So, in essence, the most important thing in finding a partner to marry is her character. Even if our wife isn't rich, if we have a good wife, we can build a business together.

Yes, it is normal now. People need money to live, so I think it is normal to observe whether the life partner has the ability to manage it. However, some people have high demands, who like to live a luxurious life, they prefer to have that kind of life partner, while there are some people who are happy with little and do not put much financial pressure on their life partner. They are satisfied with the amount they earn. And such a life partner is really a matter of luck. Only if both can adapt to each other, life is beautiful.

Most marriages are tested but you see the financial aspect of marriage, a lot of marriages experiences it and it's how couples are committed to each other they can last in the marriage. There are some marriages that men lose their jobs and the wife will help their man through that period of time and no single person outside their marriage will hear anything about it, that's how marriage is supposed to work for couples to have an everlasting marriage.

There are some women that when their husband does experience financial challenges, that's when you see them start unnecessary behavior in the marriage, some begin to look for excuses to cheat on their partners just because another person that could afford their lifestyle is giving them what they want. Some women don't know that a man can forgive many things but no masculine man will ever forgive cheating, it's a not a thing you can beg a man.

If you are a man, don’t pray or wish yourself to be out of a job that is paying the bills in your home, especially when you are married, because when you stop paying the bills and your wife start paying the bills you are going to receive a lot of insult to the point that you will wish to even drink poison and die.

Women don’t remember the past or the things you have done for them in the past, once they start taking responsibility that you are suppose to take they will never have respect for you anymore.

Out of 100% it is only 5% of women that will take up your responsibility and still respect you as their husband in the home.

That's why the wise saying goes, "Get married while you're young; the older you get, the wiser you'll be, and you'll have more reasons to postpone it." But, marriage is simply a life choice. Even in times of adversity, marriage isn't recommended.
In my opinion, the demand for marriage isn't wealth or financial stability, but commitment.

Love isn't enough quality to sustain a marriage, people now marry for benefits, the men do want children that will carry on his name or legacy, while majority of women see marriage as a means of survival, that is why some women don't leave even when they are abused in their marriage, without the man they can't do the basics of life.

Not all marriages are bound to have a happy ending, with or without good finance, a marriage can still break.

But I still think the most important thing is love. If we don't love each other, even if we have a lot of money, we won't be happy to the max, and we might even be unhappy because we don't love each other. I once experienced difficult times before and after marriage due to economic factors. I was unemployed for years, but because my wife and I love each other, we still feel happy even though we can eat from the same plate together. Finally, after discussing with my wife and finding a solution to run a business and finally having a business, we finally escaped from our misery. So, I think the most important thing is that we must try not to focus too much on money but rather on the person, whether they are good or not. And of course, the main capital must be mutual love.

But what's even better is loving each other and both having a lot of money. I also think that not all marriages will end happily, and usually marriages that end unhappily, in my opinion, are due to a lack of mutual love.

I hear stories of people marrying solely because of love. People get married without considering the financial strength or capability of their partners.

This is because you are unaware that in the past (back in the last century) partners for marriage were often chosen in precisely this way. Marriages between partners from different social classes were rare and were considered a "mesalliance".

But these days, people are beginning to consider the financial status of their partners before marrying them.

Because the family's future depends on this: when both partners are financially secure, there is a greater chance that there will be enough resources for children.

The global financial crisis has caused inflation, and the price of goods and services is getting higher every day.

Inflation has always existed, and survival has always come at a high price.

People are seeking means to overcome financial hardship. Except for those who are very rich, but others are seeking support from partners.

One should not rely solely on a single partner, for a look at divorce statistics makes it clear that marriages are often temporary.

One must rely on oneself and on reliable allies (most often, those bound by blood ties).

Currently, people want to get spouses who can contribute to the family financially.

That is a sensible decision. If a female partner can claim half the assets after a divorce, then she ought to contribute exactly half toward building those assets. Or do fairness and equal rights work differently in this world?

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.

It is always easier and faster to fall in love if your partner is wealthy. This works especially well for women.

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.

May your family remain strong, and may mutual support continue to prevail.

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?

It is certainly worth it, for (if you are lucky) you will have to spend your entire life with this partner. And life will be easier if that partner possesses some form of "value" - not just in terms of financial assets, but also the skills needed to acquire them.

Yeah, I agree with that. Some may have different views when it comes to this. A businessman who is in an industry that is booming and consistent might want to just let his wife stay at home and take care of the kids, while others will do it the other way, and it can depend on the status of their income.

In third-world countries which economy is not good, even partners who have a job cannot live a luxury life. I am speaking about my own status, and I am happy that both of us have a job and help each other to make our living decent. Some luxuries, while paying the bills and the mortgage. It's never enough because the economy keeps getting worse. Still, just thinking that I am the only one working is already stressful. It will probably be depressing if it happens.

[Taricoins]

I think looking for a partner with a bit of financial capabilities is not an option, but the rich has that ability to choose, but still instead of just looking for the availability of the finance, rather we should always think of a way to increase that financial status because a lot of unpredictable things can happen and having the mind to grow together can help them In period of uncertainties.

[Nothingtodo]

The matter is very much a personal matter, especially if my financial condition is very bad, then I will want to bring back some financial prosperity through my married wife.
Again, those who have a good financial condition will not want their wife to bring back financial prosperity to their family. Or they may want their family to bring back financial prosperity with the contribution of both of them.
In the present era, the socio-economic progress is so bad that it is very difficult to run the family on the husband's income alone. In this case, the husband will want his wife to be financially independent. That is why it has been seen that nowadays most couples are involved in the work place with both of them contributing to the income. And it has been seen that nowadays most girls prefer boys from rich families and boys prefer girls from rich families. That is, both of them prefer economically prosperous children only to bring financial prosperity.

My people say that love is blind but in this present generation with the economy love can clearly see because no one wants to marry a liability just because they are in love, right now love isn't enough to hold a marriage so while you are falling in love let it be someone that can help you grow a family financially too. It's hard for everyone already and you don't have to make it even harder for yourself in marriage, love is a beautiful thing don't get me wrong but if you are going to marry for love alone without any support financially then you also need to have a plan especially when the kids start coming.

Relationship does not come from considering the financial aspect again in most cases it is also seen that the family with financial problems cannot survive. In many families, even if they make love marriage, they end up in conflict and even divorce. If the financial aspect is considered before love, it is not bad, but a planned act which is definitely good. Everyone should consider their situation and plan accordingly. If there is someone who has enough money but needs a good partner, then the person's personality is more important than money. And in the case of those who have a financial crisis or may have financial problems in the future, the decision must be taken after considering that issue. It basically depends on the mentality of the person and his conditions.

I totally agree with you. That's exactly how it goes, because right now love is no longer valuable anymore, as it can never put food on your table. Without being told, we're supposed to know that marriage is a lifetime contract. Even though we often get divorced sometimes, but it's absolutely necessary for us to always make a good decision by choosing someone that wouldn't depend entirely on you every time, because things are actually getting worse every day. That's just the simple truth, nothing more than that at all.

[Mikky02]

Marrying because of the financial status of your spouse is not bad ,currently in this present economy marrying a person because of its financial status is the best decision to make and love at the  other hand shouldn't be taken for granted because a lot of people mostly marry because of money but there's is one question that baffles me the most tho no one wants bad things to happen to them after marrying a person because of its financial status and along the line comes Financial challenge no more money like the way it usually is before marrying that person or probably lose of job what do you think will happen to such marriage?

What makes you think that choosing someone that wouldn't depend entirely on you every time is what we are ought to be looking out for when choosing a life partner? There can lots of considerations which of course can differ from one individual to another, but the fact is that the purpose of marriage can not be taken away from looking for companionship, nothing is guarantee in this life and even in marriages, what you are looking out for can happen to be temporary and when it stopped the marriage can end that's when it was not built on companionship, having a woman that is supportive financially in a man's life is good and reasonable but that doesn't mean that those men who their wife's are not supportive financially made a wrong choice.

Undoubtedly love should remain a vital part of marriage life but nowadays financial stability also do matter. Marriage isn't only about sharing feelings but also it involves sharing daily expenses, future planning as well as handling unexpected problems together. Although for those things, anyone shouldn't be rich or need to have high paying job but at least it's better to discuss the financial situation with partner before marriage. If one earn more then it doesn't mean one is superior from another, rather understanding each other situation can help them to build realistic and healthy relationship together.

Nowadays most people base their decision to marry on financial circumstances prioritizing financial stability over love and mutual understanding.This is entirely wrong as financial situations do not remain constant and hardships can arise unexpectedly.In my view if a marriage is grounded in love and empathy even the toughest times can be overcome conversely if a marriage is based solely on money the chances of success are slim, and there is a constant fear that the relationship could end at any moment. Therefore the decision to marry should take into account not just finances but also patience love empathy and other vital factors ensuring that both partners have the courage to face any future challenges together.

For sure, if you allow your wife to be paying the bills for you definitely they will want to put you under their spell. You can't say nor do anything without seeking for permission from them, and that's very wrong. however, it is the duty of a man to pay all the necessary bills in the house, it's your responsibility as a man. And doing this alone is what shows that you're a complete man, but in a situation where you ask your wife for help or other people before you could sort your bills it shows that you're not qualified yet. Because every man has to struggle for the betterment of their family and not relying on other people, because those people you rely on also have responsibility they are taken care of.
