What women really want

Oh, and off-hand, when I get married, I plan on asking to keep seperate bank accounts, AND a familial one. =) You each put the same portion of money in the familial one, for family and household expenses, and keep a little on the side for yourselves. That way, family money doesn't go for hubby's big-screen or wifey's perfume/shoe obsession, or whatever else it is they want to spend money on.

I think that when you marry above all things there should be trust.. and if you don't have that there is no purpose of a marriage. Joint accounts are one of the many things that can make or break a marriage. It also creates a huge source of communication when it comes to spending. Now don't get me wrong .. I understand a household account when you have multiple families or large families living together. I actually think it is a wise business tactic to have multiple people contribute into one account that pays all of the living expenses .. but not in a married couples financial situation.. I feel marriage should be bonding and have trust .. and if you do not have this commitment to each other how exactly does it make it a marriage.

But also having seperate accounts can also set up an account that can be used personally without the other knowing. I have seen six or more figured people have an account for a misteress and what ever you would call for the male of that scenerio. And to me that is just as bad if not worse than being left broke.

AS for the What?

I have worked with a lot of people who six and more figured salaries and well let's just say some like to have an additional "household" or a seperate life with someone else on the side. Usually, they had a seperate account the initial spouse didn't monitor..

Actually having a person have two households with the two accounts is worse than .. the other person taking all your money in a divorce or a split.. broke isn't bad compared to being cheated on in this manner.

Why are you all of a sudden talking about having two houses and two lovers? Oh well, whatever pleases you : o

My point though.. is if you are thinking ahead about that divorce being a possibilty before you get married .. then maybe you should not get married.. you loose a lot less then and you would not have to worry as much about the stability of the other person. I know when someone has saved all their lives for a small fortune that they want to protect it .. but if you feel you have to that isn't the right person then.

but it appears you do not understand what I am saying, which actually is cute.. I will always say I think everything in a marriage should be one.. and as much as it can make or break a marriage, finances are only one part of someone's life .. which is not the most important but very important since it seem we need it to live.. I know people with small fortunes want to keep what they have .. they worked for it. But if they do not trust enough and trust in the norm of divorcing more than they do in how they feel about each other and their will and want to stay together .. than I say don't get married.. not to say that sharing everything works for everyone but to me it is part of a commitment that marriage is supposed to represent.
