Is the lack of money in your marriage causeing undo pressure in your marriage.That is To say does your spouse become moody,or depressed because they put more emphasis on the money than they do the marriage and the love that is supposed to be there thru thick and thin?Our bills are paid and we live as well as the next couple but really dont have a lot of extra money to do somethings she likes sometimes.

You know Money only creates an enviroment. We tend to go all out in the enviroments that money can purchase. Yes it does bring stress into a relationship, but if we werent so 30day and hand to mouth, we would realize that theres plenty good even when were broke. I cant say i've always lived by this method but am trying too....

Those without morals do not suffer. They step blithely upon the lives of anyone or anything in their paths without remorse, many of them believing they are right. Those with strong morals have the opposite problem. They suffer the exquisite torture of the damned with their own least transgression. There is nothing noble about wither hurting other with no remorse or suffering the pain of hellfire over the accidental damage done to a butterfly my moving three paces and shifting the air currents. The righteous are damned for their absolutism while the immoral are damned because of their being total solipsists. The middle ground is where the true righteous find their niche.

I am not married yet, but I am sharing a household with my SO. He earns close to nothing, so my money (which is not much either) goes to paying the rent and most of the bills. In the end, we both have nothing in our pocket. And yet, we are still very happy, and I strongly hope we remain this way. In the end, we try to be happy with what we have, and enjoy our time together, and we both understand we don't need to go to fancy places or dress expensive clothes to have a nice time. As long as we don't have debt, we are more than ok.

It depends on it if you're on the same page. If you talk about everything and share everything then each person should be on the same page and realize what needs to be done. If you want to do something then find a way to cut back on something and do some of those things sometimes. If doing those things all the time is the option then you will have to find a way to supplement your income. There should never be tension when you talk openly and honestly.

I have been married for fifteen years now, and going on 16 in February and it does create tension, but we have learned to count our blessings, and if our finances are low, we just learn to do without a couple of things for a while.
I guess we are so used to not having a lot of money, it really makes us count our blessings and be more modest.
Like my cousins have husbands that are rich, and they give their wives anything and everything they want, but their wives are still bwitchy, and unhappy, so money does not solve every problem.
JMO and only JMO but not having enough money as we would like makes us more modest and really appreciative for the things we already have, like our health, our daughter, our home, and our love for eachother as a husband, wife, daughter and as a family!!!!!!

YES! I agree, only becasue my wife is like this. I'm optimistic abotu where our life is going (and believe me in about 8 months we will be better off than we are now!) She's not the materialistic type either. But I think our finacial tighness right now is really bring our realtionship. She gets depressed, and then I get angry because she won't smile, or look at the bright side, and she won't take my words of encouragement to heart.

Yes, money worries do cause tension in marriages, but it's not necessary to have to worry about money. It's a free country. Get jobs that pay more or better still, start your own business. It takes a lot of work and dedication, but eventually you will reap the rewards.

Money is the biggest problem in marriages. It seems shallow, but people are caught up more in having "things" rather than having a good an productive life, marriage.

Usually some tension...understanding is very important...much more so than money. Attitude is everything. You can be very happy with little or miserable with riches. Do you REALLY need that? To get it will you forego buying lunch for a week or two? Brown bag it?

It isn't the lack of money. It's the want of doing more then you can afford.
Ask yourself this question. Would the ability to do more really make me happier?
If you had more money, you would want to do more still. It's a cycle.
As I tell me kids, there is always going to be someone richer, smarter and prettier; and if you base your success and happiness on this, you will never be happy.
