The Problem
According to LIPCO, a leading South African legal insurance organisation, 55% of the more than 4000 divorces they mediate per month are due to financial pressures.
Financial problems are definitely one of the leading causes of marriages faltering, in South Africa and around the world.
Often, relationship issues between a husband and wife can be solved with hard work, dedication and the right counselling and advice. When there are money problems in the mix, though, it is that much harder to save the marriage.
Many couples only really talk about money when they don’t have any. These discussions can easily descend into arguments that can ultimately lead to a complete breakdown in communication and a relationship that is damaged beyond repair.

The Solution
Don’t become a statistic! If you and your partner are having money issues, or are simply concerned about your financial future, arm yourself with knowledge and start fixing your finances together.
Moving away from an over-indebted situation to one where all the bills are paid and there is money left over to invest for the future makes it so much easier for couples to resolve any other issues as they arise.
If you are in debt as a couple, it is very possible that you built up that debt together. It makes sense then for you to tackle your debts and start improving your financial situation together.
When you have a common understanding of what needs to be done and are working as a team to improve things, you will feel closer and more bonded with a sense of hope for the future. If you do it right, sorting out your money issues together will probably actually strengthen your marriage.
