Is it true that marriage won't thrive without money?

[Starmix]

It is not true that marriage won't thrive without money, but it is certainly much more challenging. Money is a significant source of stress in many relationships, and financial difficulties can put a tremendous strain on even the strongest marriage. However, a thriving marriage is built on much more than just financial stability.

Financial struggles are a leading cause of marital conflict. Arguments about budgeting, debt, spending habits, and financial goals can create significant tension and resentment. This stress can spill over into other areas of the relationship, impacting communication, intimacy, and overall happiness.

A couple’s shared values and financial goals are crucial. If one partner is a saver and the other is a spender, conflict is almost inevitable without open communication and compromise. The couple needs to agree on financial priorities. It is not only a one–man decision.

While money plays a role, a strong marriage is built on the foundation of love, respect, commitment, shared values, effective communication, and the ability to navigate challenges together. A couple with these strong foundations can often weather financial storms more effectively. Couples should work together and understand that personal finances are crucial. They have to work together to create a budget, manage debt, and plan for the future. Financial literacy empowers them to make informed decisions and reduce financial stress.

In short, money does not guarantee a thriving marriage, but its absence or mismanagement can significantly increase the challenges a couple faces. A successful marriage requires a strong foundation built on mutual respect, trust, communication, and shared values, with financial planning and management as an important, but not defining, component.

How could you be happy in marriage without money. It's crucial if the wife is pregnant. She needs prenatal and it costs money. She needs the right vitamins and foods or the baby will be sickly. Plus preparation for baby's needs. It's better not to marry if money is zero.

Marriage can thrive without money once there is understanding and some level of love. A thriving marriage is not founded on availability of money. Though, money is necessary but marriage doesn't have to depend on it to thrive.

There is no marriage that would work out without money. It would always have too much misunderstandings rocking it.

Money is essential in a marriage. A marriage is a union and a life project, and for that, you need money, so marriage and a lack of resources cannot go hand in hand.

Many people I met even though when they were single they were unemployed but after getting married they were able to make money by doing anything positive, such as becoming a security guard, or office boy etc., in fact single women are more likely to target young men who are financially stable and the woman will steal someone else's husband, there are also many cases of celebrities who have a lot of money but their marriages end in divorce.

You're bright, my friend. Many married poor, but through the couple's concerted efforts, they were able to live decently. Lucky are those who are a right match.

I'm not surprised at all. I have a close friend living in the Philippines and she tells me about continuous hurricanes destroying houses and in addition, continuous money issues (companies reducing working days and, consequently, reduced salaries, expensive medical treatments, etc.). Another friend from Philippines having no money to take her baby to the doctor. In such a condition, it's understandable to get afraid to marry (or to choose to avoid to conceive children, if a couple doesn't want to get rid of marriage).

There's always hurricane in Manila, in my location in Cagayan de Oro City in Northern Mindanao, there's a seldom hurricane attack. We had the strongest before the pandemic, when the storm signal hit Cagayan de Oro City and Iligan City. In CDO alone, there were 6,800 casualties.

It's to be careful before purchasing a house in a country continuously affected by hurricanes. It's a must to choose a location not so roughly exposed and built as a strong structure to stand whatever bad weather (remembering such a choice involves a considerable amount of money).

Only those living near the seashores and rivers are mostly affected by storms. Not all storms here are ferocious.

Lack of money can lead to a marriage dissolving. Without money its a massive struggle. And money itself is a massive factor in life. although having it can not guarantee a successful marriage but it sure decreases that chances of a failed one.

One reason for a failed marriage is lack of money. If the couple does not work and rely only on their parents support, the time comes they'll get bored and would decide to split.
