I'm about to marry my boyfriend of 3 years who I am totally in love with and I can't imagine living without. However, ever since we started living together a year ago, we've had money problems. I have a decent steady income, but he's a waiter and artist and makes a very low salary. He also has a number of debts and unpaid bills which make our lives difficult. Because of them, we've never really had enough money to take a vacation and we never do things like go out to eat at a nice restaurant or splurge on new clothes, as much as we both would like to. Our financial situation depresses both us and I am worried that in the future it will begin to tear us apart. I want to make it work because he gives me the emotional support I need, if not the financial suport. Can love be enough to make a marriage work? And please, if you've never had to worry about money, do not send me condescending messages that I am not in love if money is an issue.
