tell her you have had a minimize in profits and start up putting a million/2 away in mark downs. Then the two considered one of you may get on a similar web site. despite the fact that if it rather is with the aid of counseling at your church (a number of them grant monetary counseling) or yet another counseling highway, speaking to a third social gathering and coming to some agreements on how issues would be dealt with is the respond. there are a number of books on funds and new child rearing additionally that would help. yet while she has not extra investment, she won't have the skill to do as plenty injury. and stop anxious plenty approximately her emotions in this rely. she is going to could get mad and make some differences in her existence.

Most couples run into money problems at sometime or another. One way to limit the amount of stress money could cause in your relationship is by Appling the rule of four (4) to you and your wife's finances. Simple put, couples should have two Independent accounts one for the husband/boyfriend and one for the wife/girlfriend. They also should have two joint accounts (checking/savings) for which they both make regular contributions to. Recommend the joint account be used for specific goals such as (children's college fund, vacation or other major purchases)
Having separate bank accounts should really help cut down on your frustration over your wife's spending habits. For your joint account, suggest you and your wife communicate up front and agree on what the account is to be used for...
I hope this helps

Homer, you need to give your wife an allowance for shoes. And you should get an equal allowance to spend on whatever you want. in this case, bacon.

Come up with an agreement that she gets so much from the check and you get so much from the check. You might bring home the bacon but she does wash your dirty underwear...Marraige is about the two of you not yourself.

sit down and agree on a certain amount of discretionary income for both of you to spend. perhaps you have one shared account. agree on an amount and set it in a separate account to control both of your spending.
no matter what, DO NOT try to impose restrictions on her that you aren't willing to follow yourself. you are making the bacon, but i assume she is helping at home to make your life easier. (fixing lunch, cooking, cleaning, etc.) think of your family as a business. you and your wife are specializing in different fields, but both of you are crucial to the success of the business. as in any company, it functions best when workers specialize at one task then to spread themselves thin over various tasks. she's the home, you're the job. don't devalue her contribution.
btw, i'm a sociology student conducting a survey on marriage & relationships. i'd love your input: http://geocities.com/sbiv37/

It's obvious you don't live in the same town I do. I haven't seen a woman who is walking, starving, whose apperance is devoid of personal hygiene, naked and wearing a pair of Manolo Blahnik's finest.
"all"? You should be complaining about how she contributed to your being homeless. You have a distorted perception...fix it.

Cut up her credit cards...and take her a relationship counselor to talk about her issues behind her excessive shopping.
