Only if you let it be. God giveth and God Taketh away. So you and your spouse may have a lot of money, but it might not allways be there. But as long as you are both alive, that is more precious than any earthly possesions that can easily be taken away. I know I love my wife more than any earthly possesion that money could ever buy. As long as we can get bills paid and support are kids enough to go to school and get scholarships to pay for their own dam "Higher Education", all we need is Love.

I've been married twice for a total of 27 years. Yes money does play a big part. My first 18 years of marriage was totally miserable because my husband handled all the money and made all of the decisions and we were always flat broke. It was horrible. I don't ever want to live through that again.

Financial planning for an individual can be difficult. This is even more true with a couple, especially if they don't have similar views on managing money. When children (or other financial dependants), sudden illness or job loss, and large purchases enter the scenario, it can shake even the strongest relationships. Keep in mind that marriage brings in a whole new world of financial decision making from joint tax filings, to insurance coverage!
We live in a world that runs on money. We need it for everything from food and shelter to flowers for our sweetie. It can provide for comfort, or be a source of contention. In short, money is a huge part of a marriage, just like it is a huge part of being single.

Not a big part but a part in marriage. With out it how would you get and keep that dream house with the white picket fence and family dog. You both need to be able to handle the responsibilities in the house first like electric, gas, water, ect... bills. Than you can have have fun with what you have left. Don't ever stop going on dates because that should always be apart of you two.

There are three facts in a healthy marriage:
Love (and here i´m endorsing: Comprehension, interest, loyalty, tolerance, understanding, etc...)
Money (and here comes not only the money itself but order in finances, not expansive outcomes, and a serious maturity in understanding that each one has to be productive, and no complaining or having bad feelings if someone is earning more...)
And finally...
Sex (Yes, more than ever sex is a crucial part in healthy marriages...)
So believe me, Money is a crucial part one of the three at least.

It is. That is why each person should keep their money, then add to the "bill paying fund." The figure you both put in should be a percentage of both of the salaries and not 50/50. Then what each of you has left over is "Yours" to use as you please. Items that are for the benefit of the household-need to be bought by both parties chipping in equally, if you both agree it is needed.
I've been happily using this method and do not have money issues that everybody else has. I have worked since I was 16 and do my part for my household but I do have the freedom. I deserve it since I work. I spend my money the way I want and do not answer for it.

Yes it is. We have never had enough in our marriage. My husband has never had a good work life, it get better for a couple months to get every caught up then something happens and the money isn't there any more. If you have plenty of money, that is a help also.

Well, they say money is one of the main reasons for divorce. It is something that comes with a lot of expectations. People in a marriage should definatley discuss all of their expectations about how to handle money. The budget and spending issues should be discussed regulary...like once every few months a married couple should sit together to go over all the spending and budget and discuss any future spending desires or plans with eachother.
