Re: Getting Married - Some advice
my wife and I do the same with our money...we keep a very strict policy in place, money is OURS.....regardless of where it comes from, its OURS.....for the 1st 10 years of being together, I made way more than her, sometimes double, but I still shared it as equal....we pay the bills first then split it up.....at times we might have to not pay a bill so we can live, but we make it up the following month.........nowadays, my wife makes a lot more than I do, but its still OURS....I have a side gig making extra cash but as you said, when I am out earning she is home with the kids and keeping up the house....so its still OURS.
keep that thought and treat it as the law and normally your marriage will succeed.....it will fail if you think one of you deserve more cause you made more....treat money as something you dont need and live your life as if your partners, true partners and everything else will work itslef out.....
when all else fails, RUN.
