MONEY is ALWAYS an issue in marriage, yes......too little, not spent wisely, etc. It always has been, and always will be, a major issue in marriage. The big three: money, sex, and infidelity.

Unfortunately Yes i think it is because even if there are no problems lack of money will make problems i mean we live in a world where money makes it go round.. but than again love just barely gets you through the hardest times...so im not sure the issue isn't so much money but what it is exactly that will make a marriage work?!

I think it does when i married my husband it was a pretty big issues with us. it made it pretty hard for us to get along sometimes. with us it really didn't matter if we had money but when it comes down to it everyone needs money and that's the harsh reality of it all. you need the money to live pay the bills, go out and have a night away from it all and just enjoy each other. but if you work at it things get better and then it is not that big of a deal ( well with us anyway)

Yes, money is an issue. The man is supposed to be the bread winner in the household....but there are too many independent women out here who refuse to sit around and wait on a man to take care of them. That is exactly why there are more successful women in the world today, b/c majority of the men don't want to provide for their women and children.

I think that finances are always an issue in marriage. A lot of marriages fail because of arguing over money. Couples should set a budget for themselves and try to stick to it. Always pay the bills first and use what's left over for entertainment. I think a lot of people try live beyond their means.

Yes, there are so many decisions to be made about money, and there has to be some sort of control in that process.
You have to decide beforehand what the decision process is going to be. Also, without a budget this process will be hell. A married couple has to have a budget and then stick to it.

Yes it can be a very big issue in marriage because if the bills are not being met then it will cause problems with a husband and wife communicating on a romantic level.

All couples argue about money, but money is never the REAL issue. Arguments about money reflect underlying differences in priorities and values. One says "How come you spent money on X before spending it on Y? If your values and priorities were like mine you would have spent it on Y first and only spent what was left on X" or whatever.
How much you argue about money is really a measure of how close or far apart your values are.

Yes, it is the no. 1 reason why most marriages fail. It is all of the problems that come with either not having enough money or having too much money!

huge issue. You need to have the same goals. One can't be a big spender when the other wants to save for the future or invest.
