Hey lovelies 😍
It's your favorite girl @debbie-ese ❤️
Welcome to my blog 🤗
It may be difficult to have a healthy and successful relationship if you do not have the ability to handle financial issues. Money is a key factor in every relationship and the inability to handle it effectively can cause a lot of problems in a relationship. Money is as important in a relationship just the way love and sex is. Monetary issues can be a big decider in a relationship. It can determine whether your partner will respect, suspect, regard, like or dislike you.
There are popular opinions that a relationship that is built on money or material things is not real but deceptive. However, this is not totally true. The knowledge of your partner's financial status, their spending habit and how money responsible they are is important before you start planning to settle with them so that you don't make a grevious mistake of your life. Let's take for instance, if you have a partner who is a chronic gambler, unapologetic drinker and one who spends on frivolities which you do not know about.
These kind of activities can affect the finance of the home because he or she will prefer to gamble with the children's school fees or rent, instead of using it for the right purpose. A person who is not prudent with the use of money will make wrong decisions that can lead to the collapse of the family such as running into debt or shying away from responsibilities in the home. Simply put, relationships are liable to be destroyed if productive and appropriate financial decisions are not made.
There are countless relationships that have crashed due to money related issues. The only way to prevent destroying your relationship is to have knowledge about how to handle and manage money related issues. It is crucial to be open and not keep secrets in your relationship. Let your partner know about your financial status, investments, debts, the amount you earn and so on. It will be easy to address financial issues when they arise when everyone is aware of each other's financial status. A man would not expect his wife to bring #60,000 to the table when she's earning #40,000 but this understanding will not be possible if there is no openness in the relationship.

Another important point to note is that both partners must be responsible for bringing money to the home. The bills should be shared among the two people, even though one person may have to bear the larger share. It is wrong to put all the financial responsibility on only one person because it will weigh the person down. There should be a mutual agreement on how to provide for food, light bill, water bill, kid's school fees, emergency funds, etc. Couples are supposed to be each other's helpers which will make life easier for the two of them.
A happy relationship is that which is based on trust, sincerity and openness. It will be impossible to have a happy and successful relationship when you hide issues about your finances from your partner. Secrets should have no room in your relationship if you want it to be filled with happiness. However, in some cases where you know that your partner is someone who spends recklessly once they know that there is money available you may want to be discreet about your financial life to some extent. For example, if you have some funds in your account and you know that the moment your partner is aware he or she will not rest until they spend it all, you may decide to be discreet and use the money judiciously for the good of the home.
Thank you for your time lovelies.
