Does Money make a happy couple?

source

To me yes money does makes couples happy in one way or the other, but not the solely item it's an add up to the facts or contribute to the facts that makes a happy couple.

Is money central to family happiness? If you think it is, please explain how but if you think it's not, please tell us what could be.

Again money is central to family happiness, why do I say so? besides health wealth is another critical factor in family happiness which I can vividly say that nowadays there are families such that before they could accepts a man to marry their daughter you'll have to someone they believe to have money. But as I mentioned earlier, I agreed to the fact that money or wealth alone can not make a couple or family Happy all the time. There could be issues like lack of giving birth be the man's or woman's disability, or health issues that you'll have the money but not healthy. So simply put I'll say that money will only makes a happy couple with supporting facts.

What are some common money related issues among couples in your area? Does this have any cultural undertone?

Some issues I've encountered relating to money is that because the man is always seen as the provider, there are situations that it's not always that one will have had money which some wife do not understand they always want the man to provide any time they need money forgetting that they could also provide if the man is not having, which I appreciate some women because they understand that.

With this some people from the village like my for instance, the cultural training is that if a man is not able to provide it's a failure on his part for that matter there are instances where the man will have to borrow his own wife's money to make it looks like she the wife is not the one providing after all he's going pay back.

How will you deal with a situation where a spouse feels that Your money is our money but my money is my money.

With the issue of your money is our money but my money is my money, this is one of the biggest issues I have seen especially when both couples that are working.
This one I've always seen as a vice versa where in some situations the woman is having in mind that no matter what the man is the one to provide for that matter her income is for her alone while the husband's income is for all. It been a vice versa in such a way that the man always sees it from a different perspective, like he's providing for the family so the income of the wife is for all of them.

In your opinion, is a wife obligated to submit her salary to her husband at the end of each month? Or should it be the other way round.

In my opinion it shouldn't be obligated for wife or husband to submit their salary to one another because it will make the other side seem more superior than the other which would have bring about distrust , but in some instances I've seen that either the man will want to know the salary amount of the wife and vice versa.

Why is money such a big issue in marriage lately? what measures do you [or will you] take to mitigate this problem.

We're in the century that children are been raised familiarize with money to the point that some will say they'll make money no matter the way.
In order to do away at least not entirely but little with money issues in relationship, it's about couple understanding that money is nots solution to all problems even the wealthiest person in the world is not happy all the time
