DO you agree with this?......

yes i agree, love is not enough if you dont have money to buy the things you need, the bills you have to pay. most especially if both husband and wife dont have monthly salary and rely only on whatever income they will derive from a business.

Money arguments are prevalent because they are many times just a smoke screen for other issues: control (power), insecurity, or fear. If those issues are not solved, money will always be a problem. One way around some actual money issues is to set aside a small amount for each person to spend as they please, with no restrictions. Another is to actually keep detailed records for a few months to see where the money is going. Many arguments come simply from not understanding what is spent on what.

Oh, yes. My mother`s almost the most important criteria for somebody is if he has money or no. This is her determinating factor im almost all areas of life, she is material person. I am her full opposite.

My mother & father always argue whenever they do not have any money, I'm not sure why but I don't attempt to understand how their minds work anyway. For me money is an issue in marriage but it shouldn't be the main issue between husband and wife. Whenever I argue with my husband about money it would be for the reason that he might bought something unimportant like another video game console while he still have unpaid credit card bills.

I don't worry about money, at least - when I'm in control of it. I'm frugal. I buy only what I need, and if I don't have the money for something, I don't buy it! Every argument that I can think of that Hubby and I have ever had has been money related. Bill paying, rent, food, what have you - money's at the bottom of it. Personally I hate the idea of money, and wish that our system could go back to bartering. I love creating things, and I know my talents would gain me all the things I desire...if only money were not at the root of it all. Have you ever gone somewhere without money and tried to deal without it? I did, in Ireland. Two weeks after I arrived, my money ran out. I had two more weeks to stay, and I was damned if I was going to leave. So I hitched, I played fiddle, and I sang for my bread. It was well worth the experience. Now I just wish that I could live that way all the time! How wonderful life would be without money. I hate it.

I agree. When my husband would ask how I spent his earnings, I would get irritated, and then we would quarrel about it. It's just that when he does that, he makes me feel irresponsible over financial matters. Lately, he begins to respect that I do not like to be questioned about where the money goes.

~ i think money is the source of more argument...be practical , in our time higher status people offend people who is in the lower state...blah blah blah, money now is a necessity
