" A loving wife will do anything for her husband except stop criticizing him and trying to improve him." J.B. Priestly In any relationship there are going to be things that one would like to change about his or her partner. So can it be said that there is such a thing as a perfect wife or husband?, one would like to think that there is. Some marriages "are a match made in heaven," as some people say, and other marriages take a lot more effort. Marriage is difficult- there's no doubt about it. From the newly wed stage throughout the first few it is at most times an extremely bumpy path.
First, the keys to a financially successful marriage. Seventy years ago it was assumed that women stayed home, their occupations were to maintain the households, while their husbands went to work and brought home the wages. This assumption has changed a lot. In recent years, more and more women are joining the work force. This change has had a great effect on marriages. Deciding which partner is going to do what. It will be different for every couple depending on his and her circumstances. Whether or not they have children that need care, or if one or both want to go to school- either way , both cost money. Even with both partners working, their wages often don't even out to their expenditures. Nine out of ten couples would say finances are one of the most difficult aspects of marriage. If both are working and striving for monetary success, a budget needs to be agreed upon between them, according to their personal circumstances. Most of all, the budget should be followed by each of them as closely as possible.
Furthermore, step two: overcoming your differences: "A great marriage is not when the 'perfect couple' comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences." Dave Meurer, ("Daze of Our Wives") It is necessary to use extreme discretion when it comes to one's opinions. In the event that a certain occurrence is conflicting within a couples realm, communication is mandatory.
