The economic dimension of marriage

[Berry2d]

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?

If marrying because of once financial status is the best decision,  what happeneds if in a long run your partner that you married because of his financial strength losses all maybe because of a reason.
It's the right time we need to redress on this thinking perspective, marriage i know is a union that is meant to be built with true love and never what the partner has  in mind.
To enjoy all the benefits of marriage we must be ready to put aside what we stand to gain and concentrate on feelings and strong affection that controls every thing in life , then we talk about money.

I'm one of the few that don't really prioritise a woman's financial capacity at the moment as a criteria for falling in love, what I consider is the person's prospects and the things she's capable of doing. Sometimes we get too modern that we forget that marriage is not supposed to be entirely transactional. If you get so focused on your wife's money as a man, you already have a problem because she'll find a way of overstepping her bounds. A woman's money should be her money and it will be wise of her if she decides to render some support to the man but if she decides not to, then it's not her divine obligation.

Yes, marriage is now influenced by technology and driven by money but why is it that most marriages where the money resides still fails? This is because the modern generation is trying to deny the existence of love and considering the availability of money as the possibility for love. Love has to come first, then potentials and Money.

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.

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.

I don't think there's much here, because what we are talking about isn't anything but a matter of decision, which you have 100% right to make on your own.

So don't get it twisted, because nobody is forcing anyone into something they don't want. It is absolutely simple to understand that marriage is a personal decision, so each and every one of us here knows the right thing to do with our lives.

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?

Well marriage issues depends on the man and how he can be able to hand or manage the situation regardless of the economic situation. Some men can marry without considering the economic dimension, but hoping things would change from there. And that is a form of
 gambling which is 50/50. It may or may not work out but the entire decision lies in the shoulders of the man. Sometimes marriage just need to be given a trial regardless of the economic situation, I have seen many people who thought they couldn't manage a family because of the economic situation but when they married, everything turn around for good while some case was the opposite. The fact is that it can't work the same for everybody but most at time economic situation need to be considered by finding a partner who is skillful as to be equipped against the future so that after marriage responsibility will not pill up for one man.

I used to read confessions on several sources about their relationships and marriages. Some I think are just man-man but there's some of it that I think was a real story.

And one of the topics is about choosing to get married with their partner who's just have enough for himself and not for having a family.

It's a good thing that people start to think about who they marry because it has the biggest impact of their future status and finances.

So think of it, if you don't like the marriage then remember that divorce costs a lot of money and splitting your own with your soon to be ex-partner.

Raising kids will cost a lot, the wedding itself is costly if the woman wants the dream wedding she's been thinking of.

Be wise who you marry, it's not always love that you'll be dealing with but the reality of bills, expenses, cost, etc.

Love don't pay the bills, getting married or being in a relationship simply because of infatuations isn't going to take the family anywhere. The problem is that a lot of people take decisions only based on the present and not the future, if what you look at in a partner is physical features then that's a lack of foresight. The most important thing is from financial relevance from both partners, don't get me wrong you aren't getting married because of the money your partner can give you but what the both of you can build together. This is the reason why it's important to get married to someone that understands the value of hardwork, love cannot sustain a marriage.

The situation all around is changing everything of the modern generation, due to which most individuals are failing to consider what needs to be considered in its proper place.

I mean, in simple language, abnormal seems normal and normal seems abnormal but overall being able to understand the correct matter is the big thing.
