💔 FINANCIAL PROBLEMS.
💔 JEALOUSY.
💔DECREASING LIBIDO.
💔 CHEATING ON YOUR PARTNER.
Today we're going to to figure out the second cause and how to avoid it.
💵 FINANCIAL PROBLEMS.💵
To begin with, we need to understand the causes of quarrels. Why do financial disagreements arise?

💵 Money is the basis of survival. Because money is so closely tied to our survival, we have many fears, emotions, and expectations about it. When we get stuck in situations where money isn't enough, our emotions naturally run high.

💵 Financial struggles cause stress and anxiety. Prolonged financial pressure leads to increased anxiety, and increased anxiety leads to even more conflict between spouses. Also, couples in debt are more likely to argue in general, not just about money.

💵Money doesn't just help us survive. They are closely tied to our definition of success. In fact, money defines our choices and, in turn, defines us. We choose how we dress, where we get our food, whether we buy or rent, what social groups we join, etc. Our attitude toward money also determines our future. So when spouses disagree about financial management, more often than not they are arguing not about money, but about who they are and what success means to them, and what kind of life they see for the future.

💵Sharing financial responsibility can lead to conflict. When it comes to financial decisions and responsibilities, couples don't always work as a team. Many couples divide financial roles in a way that immediately causes conflict. Therefore, separating responsibilities for managing finances can be an additional source of conflict for couples.

HOW TO AVOID CONFLICTS FROM FINANCIAL DISAGREEMENTS IN THE FAMILY?

💵First of all, you both need to remember that accumulated irritation is not a sign that your relationship has reached a dead end, but simply a result of the stress that the financial crisis has become for your couple. You easily wind up and raise your voice at each other for this reason. A clear understanding of this fact will help you slow down in time - after all, you love this person and don't want to hurt him or her!

💵 Talk through the problems and look for solutions together: talk about how you feel, suggest options for changing the situation for the better. Talk about your feelings, not blame your partner. Blaming provokes aggression - and instead of a heartfelt conversation you'll get another fight.

💵 Even if you think the financial crisis is your partner's fault, don't dare tell him that. Instead of accusations, it's better to offer a plan of action.

💵 Discuss upcoming expenses - what you need to buy, why, whether you can do with a cheaper purchase option. Make a spending plan. This will help you reduce the stressful impact of the crisis - you'll know in advance how your budget will be allocated.

💵 And the most important thing to remember.
Any crisis will pass sooner or later. And if a couple was able to successfully overcome it, the relationship within it becomes stronger, people begin to appreciate and respect each other more. But to do this, you need to prioritize in such a way that material goods do not mean more to you than the person you love.
Strong relationships are the result of compromises and agreements. Appreciate each other, respect and listen to your partner, don't be afraid to talk - and your relationship will survive any crisis!
