Money has always been a hot point in marriages, add the current economic climate and an argument is like a land mine waiting to go off. Lay-offs, and pay cuts may have one partner feeling frustrated at carrying too much of the burden or on the other hand, feeling useless and demoralized. Lack of money can create arguments about what is important to spend money on. There are several scenarios that can cause conflict, but what’s important is to understand what it is you are really fighting about. Money can be a symbol of stability and trust. How money is valued can differ based on up-bringing and experiences. Compromise and understanding is essential.
"There’s no money in poetry, but then there’s no poetry in money, either." Robert Graves
