Hi Forum members, Seeing the high rate of cost of living in our country today, please I want to ask how has this bad or better still tough economic situations affected your family and marriage?

For those already in it, has it cause chaos/disorder between you and your partners?
And those that entered it not long, does this current situations make you lament taking such decision.

For the bachelors/spinsters, are you grateful been single this moment?

Share your experiences?

The economic instability that occurs in my opinion has an impact on those who are married or single. because of course this makes everything more difficult, such as someone who is still single with a job that can only make them survive with a mediocre income, but when this income is lost it will certainly affect them on a large scale. and with those who are married or have families, in my opinion it is the same or maybe even worse.
when there is a couple who are officially married and experience economic difficulties, there must be problems that occur. several cases of divorce occur due to unstable economic factors, either because the man does not want to work or it is indeed difficult to find work. therefore, as much as possible we must be able to stabilize the economic situation so that everything is fine when married or still single, in my opinion a stable economic situation must still be prioritized.

Economic instability will affect everyone, but single people will feel less pressure than those with families, especially couples with young children. But I think whether there will be any problems between them will depend on how they love and treat each other. Not all couples argue and have problems like you said.

For example, my family, our income has decreased a little bit compared to last year but we still try to work together every day and there is no problem between us. Or many other couples around me, all are very harmonious even though they are also having economic problems. It can be said that it depends on how we treat each other as well as how we solve problems.

By the way, the idea that one needs to be financially stable before marriage sounds idealistic and most unmarried people aspire to that. But the question is when will you get a steady income, and if you never get a steady economy, what is your next plan? Wink

I've been there and I just want to tell you that it's easier said than done and it's not all bad when things don't go according to our plans. The proof is that my wife and I are very happy no matter what challenges we face.
