Both Men and Women have the same beliefs on this one.
45% say yes
55% say no
It looks like arguments about money are here to stay.

I'm the wife who gets necessities and necessities ONLY. It's hard. However, we have 3 children and my husband works his *** off to provide for us and there's rarely anything left over afterward. I don't want for anything except maybe my hair done more often or a new pair of shoes. Nothing I really need or HAVE to have. If I want the pleasures in life - at this point in time - I need to GO GET A JOB! My husband does splurge from time to time (by that I mean twice a year) and will surprise me with a gift certificate to the salon or send me shopping for the kids and hand over a little extra with a wink. It works for now. You're not her father you're her partner.

Wife.
Me and my hubby have joint accounts, so therefore whenever I want money or need money I go into the account. I dont take advantage of the fact that I dont have to ask. Money has power over some relationships, but not with this one. If we didnt have joint accounts , NO I wouldnt give him more money, but on the other hand he would probably give me more money. I am satisfied with the way things are.
Nice Question!

IM A HUSBAND,i think for me money is not the hapiness of my wife,she will be happy if you do your obligation as a father and a husband,your wife will be happy if sometimes you will give him a chocolate or a roses or saying i love you,and the most of all dont forget to give your pay envelope to here to include your overtime pay she will be very very happy.

Not a husband or wife, but in a marriage both parties should have equal access to all funds.
Anything over a certain amount to be discussed and voted on by both parties...

My response is why do you need more money is it to invest so we can retire and have a great lifestyle ...is it for land being purchased..is it to put in an account for the children's college fund then yes I would give more money ...but for more shoes, clothes, unnecessary purchases then no ..I'm single but with a boyfriend who is a spontaneous spender

I'm neither yet! lol but if you have the money that you can afford to let your other half have more and for a reasonable reason (I don't count wanting to shop at d&g a reasonable reason) like they want to be able to afford to buy more stuff for the kids or take them more places or they can't afford the type of clothes they want then i don't see any reason why you wouldn't?
If you have the money to be able to do it and it would make your partner happier then why would you refuse them?

Husband: Hopefully she's already happy. If you can afford to give her more money to let her have more fun. I don't see the problem.
If money=happiness, you may have some other issues to deal with.

More money does not make anyone happy, in and of itself. There is something at the root of the problem that needs addressing. Throwing money at it will not help.

I'm the husband... No... more money does not make her more happy. I would not give her any more money.... I've bailed my wife out financially 3 times... she's already struck out... money doesn't do it they just blow it. next step for my wife is out the door... she knows it too... so be firm with her.
