[King Belieal]

One of the reasons why people are refusing to marry now is because of finances. Most people are arguing that marriage can affect the financial life of a person positively. Is there a potential that marital life affects someone's finances positively? How?

Though I'm not married but I am positive that once you marry you'll carry a financial burden unless the two of you have a stable job,you'll have fair spending. It's essential to check the person's background if she or he is financially capable to face marriage' responsibilities.

Marriage can affect your financial life positively or negatively depending on when you marry and who you marry.

If the partners are earning enough then marriage is positive as both can share everything with each. Sharing life keeps us healthy.

After marriage there will definitely be a strain in the financial lives of both partners cause now they are no longer caring for themselves alone, as for if it affects it negatively or positively, it all depends on how you manage things.

Rationally, the positive or negative impact of finances after marriage will be influenced by fixed income (not large/small income but sufficient to meet standard living costs) and how the couple manages their finances. Many prospective couples who are going to get married consult a financial advisor first.

If the two people that want to marry have stabilized their finances and have financial intelligence, they would not have financial problems.

Very true, which is why at the end of the day it all boils down to the two persons getting married.

Yes marriage would affect your marital life if you both don't have a stable source of income that's the truth.

It depends a lot on how the couple manages their finances, but in many cases, marriage leads to a worse economy, there are more expenses and responsibilities, and that costs money, not to mention if they have children, which are big extra expenses.

If they know how to divide what belongs to each person then yes, if they join together and follow the same type of rules both in expenses and savings then no, but if they do not follow any type of rules, share accounts and spend what they want then yes, they are heading for the abyss lol

The thing is that you need to plan well so that you are not on the negative. With too much financial burden it can be that way

 

[Springtime]

That depends on the earnings of the couple and how they manage their finance.

If both husband and wife are working they can budget and save as preparations for their family to grow someday with their little kids. Those who struggle financially, never marry hehe.

Marriage can have both positive and negative effects on financial life, depending on various factors. Some couples experience financial gains through shared expenses,
