To what extent is money important in a marriage? I'm not married yet, but i'm curious to know whether it is very important in marital life. I read a thread on the forum recently, it was about the importance of money in remarriage or something like that. I'm talking about money in general in marital life and for the wedding day, etc ....

Personally, i think that money is important in marital life, but for a wedding day, we must not spend much money. We need to save money for our future.

I think Pixie that we get married only once (normally) and that we should spend as much money we want on a wedding day as it will be a memorable thing all through our life. For the marital life part,i'm not sure because i'm not married yet, but we should be able to keep a reasonable sum of money all the time for our home

Yes, i want to get married in a big castle and then invite all my friends and family, so that everyone is happy. Do you think it costs much? Maybe i must ask my mother if this will be possible when i will be 20

Hello Cecile

Oh yes i think it costs much to get married in a castle. This is a very good idea to get married in castles like in fairy tales. When i was a little girl i wanted the same thing, but now i have realised that it is too much

Pixie, I think you should spend as much on your wedding day as you can reasonably afford, as it is a special day to remember. I also think that the responsibility of making and spending money in a marriage should be discussed and mutually agreed upon between the two people involved.

I agreee with the person who say that money matters should be very well discussed in marital life. It should be spent reasonably so as to avoid any sort of clashes that can exist. Well, for a wedding day, it depends on the persons getting married and how much money they have

I think a responable amount on your wedding day, you can always save up if needed. After your wedding day just enough money for you and your spouse. As long as you are happy with the amount of money that you both have nothing else should be a problem.

You can have a beautiful and memorable wedding day without spending huuuge sums of money, but anyway, a marriage ceremony costs a lot...
After knowing we should indeed save for our future, "how" to save are important matters to be discussed I think...
Marital life is not only about financial issues, but it is indeed important, for everyday life and for future life.
