Financial disagreements can be a big problem between a husband and wife, especially if one of them is convinced that the other is spending too much. But it`s a problem you can face and overcome together, as long as you keep in mind a few basic guidelines and principles. Resolving conflicts in marriage, however, is not too complicated a task if you are willing to work to solve the financial problems of marriage. All you have to do is manage the finances of the wedding. Although some attention has been paid to couples facing money problems during divorce (Benjamin & Irving, 2001), the results obtained strongly encourage relationship clinics to be aware of the threats to intact marriages due to money problems and the importance of facilitating how spouses manage their money differences. Indeed, while accessible media attention raises awareness of money and relationship conflicts (e.g.B. English, 1998; Homme, 2007), counselling may not adequately reflect the complexity of the problem that couples face on a daily basis, or may even affect the continuity of the relationship (for example. B tips for confronting the spouse). That`s why clinicians are encouraged to realize the potential need to mitigate what has been said in the popular media about what couples think about money and relationships. As ongoing money conflicts raise concerns about broader relational processes such as power, decision-making, self-esteem, or self-esteem, they likely need additional relational support. The way in which partners deal with their differences has proven to be a particularly robust correlation between the physical and emotional well-being of adults (Fincham, 2003) and relational quality (Gottman, 1994).
At the same time, relatively little research has explicitly examined the source of these marital disagreements. In other words, what are the areas of disagreement that increase or decrease the likelihood that conflicts will be mismanaged, if at all? We propose that money as a subject in relation to other sources of marital conflict be particularly painful (i.e. negative and threatening) for the proper functioning of marriage. Consistent with this assumption, we expected that financial divergences, unlike other topics, would be marked by certain aspects of the conflict, including greater length and repetition and more negative emotions and tactics during the conflict, reflecting the greater difficulty of resolving money conflicts and the threat and stress of those conflicts. In order to improve the understanding of money as a source of marital dissension, this study examined the following research questions: (1) Is money the most common topic of marital disagreements that occur in family homes, and are conflicts over money more or less likely to be discussed with other areas of disagreement? and (2) Does money, as a subject of marital conflict in relation to non-monetary issues, relate to the way marital conflicts are managed in housing, namely conflicting characteristics, expressions and resolution? We used notes from the husbands` and wives` diary on marital conflicts at home in a sample of community-based families to examine in more detail what partners and children experience in their daily lives.
