Many couples view marriage as only a contract of convenience. On the contrary, marriage is a covenant of commitment. For sex and money to assume their proper positions in marriage, couples must understand and inter-operate well. Spouse must be wise enough to put aside money for the rainy day. Nowadays, if couples are not keeping to a budget, they may be heading for trouble, since what worked last year may not work this year.
We live in a generation that only recognize sunny days, saving for a financial emergency day helps to create financial intimacy, which generates sexual satisfaction and fulfilment. It was discovered that 50% of marriages end in dissolution and the number one reason for this is financial pressures.
Planning your finances together as couples would definitely enhance financial intimacy and also boost, increase, improve good sexual performance. Many divorce cases are actually a fight over money and sex. The challenges many couples face is not income problem, but spending problem and the attitude to each other's spending habits. It is important for husband and wife to identify and recognise their financial responsibilities in the home and stick to it.
Another challenge that couples face is how to spend the money available and not that there is not enough money. Financial planning is a process of determining whether and how a couple can meet their life goals through the proper management of financial resources. Financial planning is not based on the sum of money that a couple is expecting in the future, but planning on the one available at hand.
Managing what couples have now is an issue that requires honesty and sincerity on their part. This is not the time for the husband to be deceitful and the wive to sexually hold him hostage.
