It can destabilize a family especially where the couples don't have understanding. If a marriage can divorce over such trivialities, then there is no love. Marriage is a very sacred institution and must not be taken for granted.

It can affect everything. When one person has a big debt, the other spouse might feel like they’re carrying the weight too. It makes saving, buying things, or even having peace at home difficult. If they didn’t talk about money before marriage, things can get worse fast. Some marriages survive it, but only if both are willing to fix the problem together.

That is why it's very important for both parties in marriage to be transparent on the family financial matters. That could however avoid unnecessary wrangles in marriage that could bring about divorce and something of the sought.

When the weight of financial responsibility is too much on one of the couple, that spouse would just crumble and capitulate.
