[quote:Anonymous Coward 24492505:MV8yMDEwMjY5XzMzNzc5MDU1XzM4M0IzOTA5] Crossbow??? I'm guessing she may think you're not responsible with money. Anyway, this is how money is spent in a good marriage: its both of yours, but that doesn't mean either of you get 50% of it. It means you both have to AGREE how 100% of it will be spent. Doesn't matter who earned or inherited or won it. It is not uncommon for it to take a long while and many discussions for a couple to come to a full agreement about what to do with sudden new money coming in,or what to cut if money is suddenly in shorter supply than it was. Your patience, tolerance and ability to convince your partner to see your view (as well as the ability to see hers) are essential tools you need to bring to a happy marriage. Same goes for her. Its not about whose ideas "win" more often, but about both of you genuinely feeling, in the end, that the money should be spent that way. Nobody ever said marriage was easy. Money issues divide many weaker couples, in which one or both of the partners don't approach it with the right attitude. If one person resents the way the money is spent, that will catch up with the couple in the long run. [/quote]
