HOW THE ECONOMY CAN AFFECT YOUR MARRIAGE

AN ECONOMY IN RECESSION CAN PUT A LOT OF STRESS ON A MARRIAGE. NOT ONLY FROM INCREASED WORRY ABOUT PAYING THE BILLS, ALTHOUGH OF COURSE MONEY WORRIES CAN ALWAYS CREATE SOME TENSION, IN TOUGH TIMES, PERSONALITY DIFFERENCES, EVEN DIFFERENCES IN GENDER MAY MAKE THE SITUATION HAVE MORE CONFLICT.
WHEN THE ECONOMY IS TOUGH, THERE MAY BE STRESS OVER WHERE THE MONEY IS SPENT. IF YOU HAVE A SPOUSE THAT IS A SAVER, AND YOU LIKE TO SPEND, THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO MAY CAUSE ARGUMENTS. THE ONLY WAY TO GET AROUND THIS IS TO MAKE AN INDEPENDENT SPENDING BUDGET THAT EACH PERSON CAN USE FOR WHATEVER THEY WISH WITHOUT COMMENT.
THE SAME ALSO GOES IF YOUR SPOUSE IS A WORRIER AND YOU ARE MORE LAID BACK. THE WORRIER MAY BE STRESSING AT THE SITUATION, WHILE THE LAID BACK PERSON MAY BECOME ANNOYED. THIS COULD LEAD TO ATTACKS ABOUT THINGS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SITUATION.
