They are directly related in a marriage wouldn't you say?

Sex is sex, money is money. People do put them together as ways of manipulation and control. That is wrong. Relationship need trust, without that, there is no relationship.

I'm not quite sure that I agree that sex and finances go hand in hand but I do agree that these are the 2 things that can break up most marriages. These are the 2 things that most married people fight about. I just think that if people would work on their communication skills and learn how to sit down and talk things out more people could make their marriages work. When problems come, the 2 people in a relationship should turn to each other to work things out, but so many people turn away from their partners and let these things come between them. Communication and compromise on both peoples behalf are key to working things out.

No.
The pastor that married us 36 years ago - and he was really a cool guy, not some stuffy, inhibited person - told us that if we could avoid arguing about money, we'd be way ahead of most married couples.
You have X amount of income and Y amount of expenses and that's it. If you got a little left over to save or play with, what's the point of arguing about it.
It's only money.
Never had any serious arguments about sex. We both enjoy it and get our fair share.
Biggest problems in a marriage are lack of maturity, patience, mutual tolerance, forgiveness and the ability to prioritize issues.

Absolutely. When I was laid off some years ago, I was too depressed for anything. When my husband was laid off last year for 6 months, I was supportive at first but then I became very resentful because I was paying all the bills, etc....... We fought constantly because I wanted to buy things for myself and couldn't. The stress was unbearable for both. We went for one whole week without talking and one month without sex because of our then money situation. Now that we are both back on track and contributing, things are 100% better. In this world, no money equals no respect. You are considered useless. It's sad but that's the reality.

There should be correlation between the two. Unless the relationship is a John or Joan / Hooker arrangement.

Absolutely not...I think what you are talking about is a form of prostitution! Love should be given in a marriage because you love the person, it has nothing to do with money.

Yes, when there is not enough sex, money problems seem to come soon after. People who have a good sex life don't have time to go out and overspend.

No, I do not agree. In fact, I can't even see how the two would be connected, unless you're paying for sex.

YES! You got the cheesse, you get the rat! If you're broke, you can forget it, you won't even get eroused by women! It is sad that females are like this. They're giving girls like me a bad name! Money should't dictate a relationship. Love is deeper than money!
