Money can not make a happy couple to some certain extent, such as emotional well-being. Your emotional well-being matters a lot in a relationship. For example spending time with your friends and finding time for your hobbies, and your spouses attention to you is very significant, all this things, money cannot do. Money can't relieve stress but a happy home filled with love for another not because of money can release stress.

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.

| |- A healthy and happy couple is built on communication and love not money. If in love, wait money must definitely come. But if moved for money, that relationship won't last long. For instance, couples having an argument and at the end of the day, the husband gets a necklace for the wife to shut her up when the matter has not been resolved. The happiness will only last for a period of time and the lady will be fade up because she has no inner joy. ![girl-1822702_1280.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcJ6kaTBZf3TCep1u8PnbAEQKF3b34GektYEWtaHtuvUJ/girl-1822702_1280.jpg) [Source](https://pixabay.com/es/photos/coraz%C3%B3n-amor-atardecer-forma-3147976/) One cannot marry his or her destined husband or wife, if he or she chooses from the view of money, but building meaningful relationship with your spouse and family who supports your goals can bring you lifelong happiness into your world.

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

| |- Some of the outstanding common money related issues amongst couples are; Continuous request, woman that is in love with a guy request with dignity for herself not turning it into a business partner. Another one is, not always satisfied with what is given because it doesn't touch the heart. No matter what you give she / he won't be contented. And also, it will be very risky for the giver if he or she faces financial breakdown. Here it can lead the relationship to an end because what holds the relationship are the items provided.

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

| |- In a situation like this, don't fight, pull back and call for a family meeting, write down what each of you is bringing in terms of salary, make a list of your current living expenses and be mindful of those words you use as you talk. Both party should be open in their financial availability. The family shouldn't only be bent on ones money alone but both. Let the spirit of togetherness lead. ![romantic-young-couple-smiling.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmf1tDLy1PsGofFk8Z2XhXZPhqWwfnJi18rMcjYSVFesdK/romantic-young-couple-smiling.jpg) [Source](https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/romantic-young-couple-smiling-gm108224949-8402317)

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.

| |- No, the wife shouldn't submit her salary to the husband because she has her own needs, but she should always be supportive to the husband in all round figure.

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

| |- Money is a big issue In marriages because when there's no money, marriage mates would be finding it hard to live on their wants especially when the wife pressures too much. Even when there's money, there's also a problem. Most family heads spend time making money than on their families. Some of the measures I will take to mitigate money issue amongst couples are; keeping a joint account and setting expectations together can help curtail some of the issues in marriage. Keep purchases out in open places and not letting salary differences to come between them. ![heart-3147976_640.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmb9MuwfkJ9KZLR9Kg9GEWSpnkWVBtTVdkAyo9wUoUXpEL/heart-3147976_640.jpg) [Source](https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/wouldnt-mind-kissing-you-for-the-rest-of-my-life-gm1023472732-274692599) Let love lead because love is the greatest of all, not money for material thing.
