The matter of finance has always been one of
the major causes of disagreements between spouses in so many families. This problem can be avoided when couples
manage their finance properly.
The following are some of the ways you can
avoid these problems that are associated with financial management in the
family.
1.
Do not Allow Your Partner to Carry One
Hundred Percent of Expenses at Home: Financial burdens must be shared between
spouses according to each other’s capability so that one person is not weighed
down so much with family’s problems.
Each partner unless otherwise agreed must work hard to contribute to the
upkeep of the children, payment of bills and other financial responsibilities
of the family. Leaving all loads on one
partner brings resentment and this creates problems in the home.
2.
Discuss and Share Financial Positions
Together: Talk together about your income and future
plans. Let each partner be aware of each
other’s financial capabilities so that one will not assume being cheated. If possible, couples should run joint accounts
whereby each partner will be notified when money is being drawn from the
account and what such money is meant for.
In this way each person will be fully aware when there is money in the
family and when there is none.
3.
Buy and Own Properties Together: I have come across so many couples
who lay claims on the properties in the house, saying this belongs to me and
the other one to my partner. Some women
also buy properties like, land, building, cars etc on their maiden names and
hid it from their husbands. These are powerful ways of killing the purpose of
family setup as they bring divisions and distrust in the home. Couples should buy and own properties
together so that in case of any eventuality or death of each partner, the other
can be able to claim such properties to the benefit of the family they have
created.
4. Do
not Indulge in Selfish Spending of Family’s Money. Do not be egotistical when spending family’s money. So many men indulge in the habit of using the
money they ought to spend on the family to club, drink, visit prostitutes and/or
accumulate mistresses. Some even go to
the extent of not caring about the welfare of their wives and children. Some
women also prefer buying clothes for parties to taking care of their children. This is not healthy for the peaceful
co-existence of the couple because this selfish method of spending money has
torn so many families apart and you will do yourself a favour by not indulging
in this act.
5. Surprise Each Other with Gifts: Lastly, whenever you are favorably disposed to
buy things for yourself, do not forget to buy for your partner. Little gifts here and there bring love and happiness
to the home and love do not count errors. This will also enable your partner to
know that you have him or her and the family at heart and that you are working
towards the family’s happiness.
