Among the main reasons why people enter into relationships are love and, oddly enough, money.
At the same time, according to psychologist Julie Dodson, material unions, although less emotional, are much more stable. But still, the most favorable relationships are those in which there is both love and the ability to unite and increase capital.
However, there are often cases when the issue of money destroys relationships. To prevent this from happening to you, pay attention to the following points.
1. Smart budgeting skills and frugal housekeeping are in trend, while spendthrifts are out of fashion now.
2. The key to peace in the home is the ability to separate your financial desires from those of your partner. You must admit, it is not easy for a woman to understand why her husband needs another spinning rod, while her husband is perplexed by the need to buy a second fur coat.
3. Don't try to agree with your partner on everything at the start of your relationship in order to please him or her. The sooner you stop idealizing each other and discuss the money issue, the stronger your union will be.
4. Another important and even somewhat courageous step is to tell your partner about the real state of affairs with finances, without embellishing or hiding details.
5. Finally, try to acquire the ability to compare desires and possibilities - instead of demanding money from your partner for another impulsive purchase or blocking your significant other's credit card, draw up and agree on a common budget.
