Am I expected to join him and pay his students loan debts after we have gotten married?

[Fidelia]

Some people have debts hanging around them. Let's take Students loan for example. And peradventure, they end up getting married without completing the repayment of the debts.

Is the spouse expected to join in the debts repayment after they have gotten married?

It depends if you are willing to help him pay the student's loan. It is fine if you don't want to join and pay.

That's a shame getting married without fully paying the student loan but if the future spouse is willing to help pay the loan then that's fine. It is best to fully pay the student loan first before getting into marriage.

If it is a guy that has prospect and I am sure I love him, I won't mind helping him to pay that loan.

It all boils down as to how much you love your partner. I strongly believe if the love is there, you will definitely want to help out no matter how small it might be.

A person that is stuck on student loans should not be thinking of marriage. But if it happens to me, I would join him to pay the debts though.

What's love about if we don't help our spouses. Yes if you can help them why not we need to help

 

[Springtime]

It depends on the couple. If the partner is willing to help, I don't see any problem with it.

Although legally the unpaid student loan is still her responsibility, but if she is honest and has just started working so that it is not possible to pay off the debt, then I will personally help her pay off all her debts immediately, that is also a proof of sincere love.

 

[Starmix]

If the remaining loan is peanuts then I can offer to share payment of the loan until fully paid,It's also how trust is built.

 

[Augusta]

It depends on the couple. If the partner is willing to help, I don't see any problem with it.

Yes it is all about the couple. If the partner is willing to help, there's no problem with it.

Marriage is a relationship and it's very personal. Each one has a different chemistry and understanding. Married couples do share financial responsibilities. Student loan is one such financial obligation. If one is willing to help, I don't see any problem in that. But forcing or pressurizing your partner to pay for your Student loan is not right. Also, marrying someone for the sole purpose of getting the loan paid is not an ethical thing to do.

 

[Kera]

I won't even marry a man that is yet to pay off his students loan. He doesn't need marriage at that point.

 

[King Belieal]

That's what love can do. It is not bad to help him repay his students loan if he has demonstrated that he is a financially responsible person.

Well, Paying off student debt together with a partner may shave years off your repayment term and save you thousands of dollars.
