If people marry each other for love, the would you think people stay married for money?

Question

If people love each other so much, then why do half the marriages end in divorce and is usually because of financial distress? So does love really bring ever lasting marraige? Let me hear what you think.

Answer 1

In "true" love, you work things out "together" with the finances. You talk openly about them and solve them together. A big problem sometimes is that one partner will take the responsibility on themselves and not involve the other. This causes problems in the marriage, big time. Or one partner spends way over budget which causes the financial distress. Either way, it comes down to doing all things with finances together so your both on the same page. Love is just one part of an ever lasting marriage, There are far to many more things that are needed to make it last forever.

Answer 2

Long, long, long time ago I beleive there was a thing called True Love and Love at first sight and when you heard of marriages months and weeks after the couple meeting and being maried 50 plus years.
Times have changed and people don;t commit like they use to unless MONEY (THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL) plays a roll. I think many women marry for money in place of love and even when they realize a few years and children down the road they don;t love their husbands, they stay with them because the resources are plentiful. Generally, these women are cheating and their husnands truly love their wives. There is also such a thing as a man keeping his wife for vanity reasons buying her the essentials to keep a vanity lifestyle. Both get what they want and usually children are not involved because they are both to selfish. I think history is beginning to repeat iteself and love is finding its way back into relationships. Hey all the millionaires are about dead and the econmy sucks and most who had 6 figure salaries are inthe unemployment line. All the stay at home mommies and their minni vans are getting their asses back to work and putting their kids in day cares, or the couple work opposite shifts so the kids hve both parents always. Seperation makes the heart grow fond and the love for one another becomes stronger since each one;s presence is absent other than on the weekends. Even house work is team played and that is more willingof th ehusband since the wives are working and putting in equivelently her time instead of scrapbooking and shopping and having lunch with her frinds charging his credit cards up he works for. Sorry i have many friends like this and unfortunately their marriages are on the rocks. Just an opinion from expereinces.

Answer 3

People marry for love, but a financial stress on the marriage can tear away at the love. Have you every been in a really tight spot for money? It eats away at you. You become depressed, angry, sad, you name it. This leads to stress on the partner. The partner may feel worthless if they cannot fix the problem. You see, love is wonderful, but the real world works its way into your life and some people cannot put forth the effort to keep going and try to keep the marriage going at the same time.

I personally think it all depends on the situation and on the way of you relationship before and after married... For example I got married once we were in love, finacially okay I used to go to college & work full time, he only worked... at first everything was fine we go together everywere share our expenses, but then he changed he got paid more than I did so instead of saving he used to spend all check with his friend, didn't go to sleep some nights or he was always out...I try to fix things up I quit school so I could have more time for him but he avid me everytime then we decide to get pregnant after almost 3 years but things were worst he even started to hit me so I decide to move out, pregnant & star a new life with out him.. After few years of divorce I found a guy who is now my hubby, he accepet me with my daughter I have a better life he has a good job, we have our own home & have our savings & we are very happy & expecting our 2nd baby.... But most people do get married for money or are not happy because of money, usually if he/ she used to spend every week end on clothes or things just for them & after married those privileges are less so that's why I think sometimes Money id bad enemy for married couples, the thing is not letting money to be the problem, as couple money needs to be share .... Money distress will be there but just need to learn not to get it in between the relationship....This is just my personal opinion!!! :)
