from the outside couples have it all when it comes to money.many relationships have two working heads of households.with a nice padded double income to provide stability.other relationships have one full time professional and one stay at home partner,who can take care of the house and cooking on a budget,it seems like a ideal scenario. one of the biggest challenges of taking care of finances when there are two people to consider is that's it's very easy for arguments and bad money habits to get in the way of relationship. the result is often fighting ,divorce and a tough financial situation for everyone involved.
it is very important for both partners to take an interest in the long term financial plans.

Well, I certainly agree on that. I would agree that either both should be working or even if only one works they must have long term financial plans like business to handle with. It would be very hard for the couple to pursue of having a good family if they're are unable to provide the needs. On this generation I seldom see just a husband working, normally I see both of them working. But ofcourse for some instances you can't avoid that the wife must stay at home only. With this instances preparedness and being resourceful is very important. So, far right now the good thing is even if at home you can start earning. There's a lot of ways to earn online.
Even if couples don't mean to argue because of financial problems this is sometimes unavoidable. Because as long as you live together and move forward in building your own family you need to make money to raise your family.
