If marriage has been greatly hit by divorce, then we can’t exclude financial issues.
This why is so important for partners to decide how they will handle their finances even before they tie the knot. This should be a solid agreement.
These are some peaceful ways partners can handle their finances in the union.
Before that, understand that your husband’s money is your money, and your wife’s money is your money. So before you misuse it, remember the union you are into.
1) Both partners should keep their money separate, and when there is a project, both parties will contribute to support it. And it will be good to keep records of any penny you pay to support because of the unknown.
2) Both parties should keep their money, but then they should create a joint account and contribute a percentage into this account monthly for projects, etc.
Anyway, the man should pay the greater part of these contributions, and it will help him to maintain his respect and his position as head of the family.
Eg: 70:3, 60:80, but not 50:50.
If the woman wants to pay more, she should do that out of love.
There have been other ways some people do this, but mostly it ends in cheating, misunderstandings, fighting, mismanagement, etc., so I won’t encourage that. You can also go by that at your own risk.
1) Giving everything to the husband to keep
2) Putting both partners’ salaries or earnings together into one account…
3) By giving a portion of your salary or earnings to your husband to keep.
To conclude, husbands should never force their wives to take their salaries or earnings in the name of “being the head of the family.” Everything should be done in agreement, and that is the only way to create peace. And woman don’t put all the burdens on your man, support him with the little you can in every project he is doing; so that you have a say in it.
