Money quarrels\/arguments are found in almost every marriage out there, and it could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how couples handle the situation.<\/p>\n

We all have different personality traits and it’s our personality traits that most times determine how we would use money; whether you are a frugal spender or a luxury spender depends on your personality traits. This could really be a huge problem if couples go about it the wrong way.<\/p>\n

A 2001 California State University study found that finances play a minor role in marriage breakups after collecting data from 2000 marriages between a 12-year period. So how you handle your money arguments could go a long way in making your marriage either healthy or unhealthy.<\/p>\n

4 possible ways to achieve the healthy marriage financially:<\/b><\/p>\n

1. DISAGREE TO AGREE <\/b><\/p>\n

While this is easier said than done, it is all the same very achievable. When you argue about money, it shouldn’t be just about outwitting your partner and making your perception the dominant one; rather it should be about resolution, and having respect for each other\u2019s opinion no matter how different it sounds. When there is respect for each other’s opinion then reaching a common goal wouldn’t be too difficult.<\/p>\n

2. AIM TO MAKE DECISIONS AS A COUPLE <\/b><\/p>\n

One major reason couples quarrel unfairly about money is that they think more about the individual than the marriage. After living alone and making your own financial decisions, it really wouldn’t be easy to live with another opinion. Before any major financial decision is made in your marriage, your spouse has to be aware; you can’t make decisions as easily as you did when you were alone.<\/p>\n

3. RECOGNIZE YOUR PARTNER’S FINANCIAL STRENGTH\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

Sometimes couples let their personal pride and ambition come in the way of the financial decisions in their marriage. Your partner could be better in making spending decisions or in savings or investment; see the good in this and bring in that strength for the growth of your marriage. Your partner isn’t your competition.<\/p>\n

4. YOU CAN’T ALWAYS HAVE IT YOUR WAY <\/b><\/p>\n

This thinking would benefit your marriage in every aspect, including the financial aspect. You want a new car, but your partner is thinking of a bigger house which could mean more rent and definitely more expenses. You could let your partner’s will of getting the bigger house stand, then let your partner understand that a lot of expenses would be cut down and savings would be made too to probably get that new car later on: this would make it easier for your partner to reach a compromise. You can both win in this situation or both lose depending on the decision you make \u2014 there is never a sole winner or loser in a marriage; you lose and win together.<\/p>\n

With these four tips, financial arguments would be much healthier, and it would definitely help your marriage in the long run.<\/p>\n
