Are financial problems putting a strain on your relationship?

My husband and I are deeply in love and we value and appreciate our bond with one another. We used to talk and laugh a lot with one another. Since we are having big-time money problems, the laughter and the talking has mostly stopped. We get more irritable with one another and our general sense of well-being is gone. I fear we are slowly drifting apart. It really saddens me and i do not know what to do about it. As they say, money can't buy happiness, but it sure can make you miserable when you don't have enough to go around. Is anyone else feeling the same way? What advice do you have for me?
 
My wife and I are retired, had to learn to economise,?But like everyone else we are feelimg the strain.. But all the suffering, losing homes, jobs and relation ships, is worth it to keep the fat-cats, private or public, fat! or do you not think so? If so, tell them, via the Ballot box..
 
YES U R RIGHT STRESS MAKES US IRRITATED, SO DONT BE DAD IN FROUNT OF UR HUBBY, BE JOLLY AND TELL HIM U LOVE HIM AND CARE FOR HIM AND EXPECT SAME FROM HIM , MONEY IS NOT THE MATTER , PROBLEMS END UP VERY FAST.
 
This is a very stressful time for you and your husband. It's hard on the man when money falls short, he may feel inadequate and like he is not taking good care of his family. Its so stressful to feel not in control. Keep loving him and be patience and kind. Do and say things to build his ego, men do strive on ego. I wish you the best and hang in there. I hope good times are soon to be coming your way.

My hubby and I hit hard times shortly after we got married & we fought all the time. After time passed, I realize how we lost sight of our goal as a marriage. The next time we hit hard times, we didn't loose sleep over it. We couldn't pay our cable bill. Oh well. We couldn't go out to eat anymore. Oh well. We have each other & times are getting better. Stop focusing on what you don't have & focus on what you do. You'll be surprised that you can still be happy with less.
