Did you know that MONEY is one of the most difficult problem between couples? Others can't talk about it in a nice way that it triggers to a heated arguments.
If the couple is having an unbalance view of money , they might suffer stress, conflict and emotional and even spiritual destruction.
If a parent doesn't know how to handle money they will be force to work more harder and overlook their childrens emotional and spiritual guidance because they are concentrated to gain more.They even served a bad example to their children about being unreasonable about money.
Money can destroy marriage, if a couple don't know how to control how to handle money matters it will be root of marital arguments. However if money matters are dicussed calmly it will help strengthen the relationship bond of the couple.
Main reason why couples oftentimes argue about money is because of lack of faith towards their partner. If a husband always demands the way his wife is spending every cent, it will create mistrust and the wife will feel that she receives lack of trust from her partner and feels incompetent in handling over their finances. Likewise with the wife if she is always complaining that her husband cannot earn much for their family needs shows expression of fear that they won't survive makes the husband feel that likewise he's incompetent of raising his family.
You do not have to wait until a problem arises before you talk about money. You can discuss it freely. Sometimes during meals if everyone is busy or during bedtimes.
As a breadwinner you must not view your salary and income as your own but consider it as your family's. So you should value the way your wife in handling your money. Sometimes its good to ask for the wife to jot down everything she purchased for the family's needs and do the purchase yourself. That way you can learn how money flows as you can learn the prices of the things and neccesities needed at home. Then you will not be surprised that money has no value nowadays. You can't buy bulk items in a 10$ bill.
On the other hand if you are both earning with your spouse then you can discuss together how you can save from your savings. Try to track down your expenses and keep an extra for emergency cases and for your savings. It really good to spend you know but you don't know what future may bring.
Do not insist on purchasing large amount of furnitures or any out of the budget matters as it will cause your budget to fluctuate. You will have problem on it afterwards. Be sure to listen to both opinions as it will serve as a foundation of trust. Share the loads as a partner and remember to listen to one' sentiment. Don't consider this as a little thing because its more than life and death.
The end... Thanks f0r reading people.
