Money – A New Marital Relationship Divider

Jawaharlal Nehru once said, “The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one’s relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident.”

Yet this divine creation, destined by God and discovered on Earth by humans can be crashed in an instant by reasons such as infidelity or extreme cruelty but in the recent times for no reason at all.

The ‘quickie divorce’ i.e. splitting for no reason at all is common and so is financial discord increasingly becoming a reason for break-ups. If you take a peek at the results released of a couples and money survey by Credit Canada and Capital On, here are some points that merge:

• More than one third of couples get married without having any open conversation regarding money which becomes of primal importance after marriage.
• 86% of couples fight about money

The fights take on a consistent, regular nature.Women and men aren’t just battling over spending but they have radical differences in their approach to most financial things. For example:
Most couples don’t share the same philosophy about finances as their partners.
Men’s worst fear is not to be able to retire and women’s worst fear is not to be able to pay for their kid’s finances. Is there any wonder that Men are from Mars and women from Venus.
The main pain points in the financial compatibly of a couple are:

• One third of men and women lie to their partners about how they spend money.
• The partner not in control of money is most likely to hide the facts about their debt.
• The couples once they fall into the trap of monetary discord don’t trust that their partner will be truthful to them.

This may be your first step at eliminating your relationship financial divide. Ever wondered if you are a match made in heaven and discovered on Earth, don’t look to stars for an answer, instead check your financial compatinbility.
