why only monetary status of guy is considered in marriage

Answer 1

TO RUN A LIFE AND FAMILY ONE MUST EARN IF BOTH ARE EARNING IT IS VERY GOOD IN MODERN LIFE BECAUSE DESIRES ARE MUCH HIGH.

Answer 2

Money is very important in a marriage. You take on all kinds of new bills together. First homes, children, cars, etc. I don't know where you come from but ALOT of women work outside the home to support their families. Alot of men stay home and take care of the children. No matter what you do it must be done as a team and with love. Marriage is hard work and your love must be strong. When you talk about women staying home, do you realize that they usually work twice as much as the partner outside the home. It is not an easy task with children. Never a vacation, a day off, sometimes work through the night. I think you need a wake up call and I hope you change your attitude before you ever consider a partnership in marriage. Good Luck!

Answer 3

No-one can really answer that question for you. It's true that more money can make the everyday struggles of life easier to handle. Indeed, money has an important place in our society. However, when asked to identify the keys to their happiness, most people put money far down the list. Here are some examples of other things that people commonly say are their "keys to happiness":

· Good relationships with family

· Strong friendships

· Good health

· Healthy marriage

· Sense of accomplishment

· Spirituality

· Interesting activities (sports, hobbies, music, etc.)

How about you? Where does money fit on your list? Test your self. Look at the list above and pick one item that would be most important to your happiness. Add other items if you would like. Ask yourself these questions: "Would I like to be rich but in poor health?" "Would I like to drive a brand new car but have a terrible relationship with my children or parents?" Go through the rest of the list. What's really important to you. After you have picked the one item that is most important for your happiness, pick the second most important item. Keep going until you've listed all the items.

Money Doesn't Equal Accomplishments
Unfortunately, too many of us measure our achievements, even our self-worth, in terms of the amount of money we make. We should all avoid falling into this trap. Isn't teaching a child to read and write an important accomplishment? How about leading a church congregation or even a nation? Many teachers, pastors, and politicians could make more money in other professions yet they are fulfilled by the sense of accomplishment that comes with helping others.

Having money isn't the only sign that someone has accomplished something valuable. In fact, while living with less money can offer unique challenges, it also provides a real opportunity for greater achievement. Think about it this way. What's more challenging and satisfying, buying a new coffee table or spending time and energy on refinishing an old one? Which would make you more proud? Sometimes it's the simple activities like mending a sock, putting a nutritious meal on the table with a limited budget, or comforting someone who needs our help that reminds us how important we are.

For Those Still Shopping
Still not convinced? Try one more exercise. Think about the happiest moment of your life. Was it when you bought something new or was it a special moment like the birth of a child, a special time with a loved one, or accomplishing a major goal? Go one step further. Ask yourself this: "When do I feel most content, happy, and at peace?" Maybe it's a walk in the woods, relaxing in special place, playing with your children, or talking with friends or relatives. While buying something new often makes us happy for a short period of time, it's the "simpler" pleasures in life that often provide greater, and longer-lasting, happiness.

What's the Real Message?
It's that happiness can't be bought or sold. It doesn't come gift wrapped or marked down 10 percent. It isn't in the money you make, whose name is on your clothing, or how you get around town. Happiness is in your accomplishments. It's in the strength and happiness of the children you raise, the friendships you make, and the love you share with others.

Answer 4

These days BOTH members sometimes need to work, so its getting rarer that you have stay at home housewives/husbands (in the UK).

On average now you need an average of £37,000 annual income to run a house. That is often beyond the reach of a single working person.

But then again, the poulairty of marriage has also declined, with many couples just being bf/gf status. This causes all sort of legal complications if they split.

Answer 5

Money is important as far as having a home and food and clothes. If you want more things like travel and eating out, you'll need a higher paying job. My husband and I both work, but if we could live off one income, he would love to stay home when we have kids. I would have no problem with that.

Yes, some people only care about having a rich spouse to take care of them. I don't think most people are like that.

Answer 6

people are not greedy, it's just that we've been accustome to traditional patriachal values of men doing the search for bread and butter while the women stays at home doing all the household work. today, everybody in the family needs to work so that families can stay nourish and capable to attain what they want in the future. Money serves a vital purpose in our existence, though it may not give us happiness but without it there can never be happiness either. the world had made it difficult for us to exist without buying anything. we don't grow anymore what we need so we need to get them from the supermarket and that needs money. Love is important for families and for everyone BUT IF THE STOMACH IS EMPTY LOVE GOES OUT OF THE WINDOW.

Answer 7

In this world we live in today, it takes more than one breadwinner just to live in a somewhat comfort zone. The key is living within your means. So many people live have the misconception that money is a cure all that they forget what is important in a marriage.

Answer 8

No LOVE is everything in a marriage. Money is what both of you work for to keep a happy and comfortable life-style. If you are going to marrying someone and they tell you that you aren't going to work and only they are, and you don't like that way of life....don't marry them.

Answer 9

Money is important in marriages. But not really important. More than money, love between the couples is really important.

Answer 10

Marriage is much more difficult when you are struggling to pay bills and survive. Money problems can definitely strain or destroy a marriage. Save your money and plan accordingly.

Answer 11

If you are effing serious, then you are the dumbest monkey to grace the face of this planet. Get out there and earn your keep, there is no why, only how. Get a job and make your wife happy.
