Many relationships breakup and divorces occur in marriages because of money. Why?
The worth of our relationships and marriages go beyond money but why does money play an important role here?
Arguments about money go deeper than just cash. If you take a critical look, when you argue about money, you are arguing mostly about your values, beliefs, and goals in life. The power of this emotional issue can break down a perfectly built house. Cash makes the relationship rich with power, trust, and security.
Money and sex are the most uncomfortable topics for couples to discuss. Because of this, most people avoid talking about it and grow the demonic emotion until it explodes the relationship.
What the hell is a money issue worth breaking up over?
Kate stated in our interview: "My ex-boyfriend was really garbage with my money, the complete opposite to me. I paid for all our bills etc even though he was a salesperson at an oil company and was earning some cash. I lost it when he used my credit card without my permission. I think it is best to resonate together with your partner about money."
Kate is a strong woman who wanted a great and happy relationship. She avoided the discussion until hell broke loose. She had to let the deadbeat out of her life. Kate's finances changed when she got married to a lawyer who understood the role of money in relation to happiness in marriage.
Our traditional marriage includes a promise to be together "for richer, for poorer", but "for poorer" to most couples is just freaking hard. Money and love are the foundation for amazing marriage life and relationship.
To prevent money from ruining your relationship, do these instead of thinking so much like a twenty-first-century Einstein:
BE HONEST
Hey, don't be a shady partner. Trust and honesty play a vital role in a healthy relationship. Be transparent about everything related to your finances. This is bloody hard but, you will get used to it.
FIGURE IT OUT
Well, this explains itself pretty well. No one will like to live forever with a lazy, dumb, and broke partner. Give it a hundred tries till you get it.
MAKE GOALS
This sounds pretty simple. This is where everything about the relationship or the union becomes real. Wanna buy a home? Have children? Travel the world? Start a business? Design all your goals. Start with the end in mind. Make life decisions together and watch it flourish.
CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION
Don't do it just once and expect a genie to work it out of y'all. The conversations about your finances should be regular. From one goal to another. This promotes growth in the relationship or marriage.
