Many dreams and hopes of people who were counting on a romantic fairy tale but ended up with a gray life were shattered on this stone.
But the reason is not in money or even in its quantity, but in the ability to negotiate. Learn to discuss the financial issue with your other half, and happiness will not bypass your home.
Discuss peacefully
This conversation requires scheduling a time when both parties are willing to discuss their behavior and spending.
It is quite enough to plan your budget twice a month for a healthy atmosphere.
Keep your feelings to yourself
Sure, the bill can be a bit of a bummer. But don't roll your eyes, tear your hair out, or swear.
In general, at the first stage there is no need to talk about specific figures and discuss who spends how much and who earns how much.
If something doesn’t suit you, then start your answer with the phrase “we need to pay attention to...” and so on.
Values
It's good when a couple has common interests, values and goals. If a husband is saving up for a new fishing tackle, and a wife for an evening dress and a fur coat, then both will soon quarrel. As always, because of money.
Therefore, it is important to determine joint expenses, common savings, and the rest can be safely spent at your own discretion.
But please don't forget about your responsibilities.
