Financial strains in a marriage is one of the hardest things to address and admit to. Anytime a household has only one sizeable income and Lord knows some have two, the financial responsibilities should be handled by

the one that is most financially responsible and is more apt to sit down and see that the monthly expenditures are paid in a timely manner.

If you are however in a marriage where his is his, he won't pay and doesn't try to pay and you can't afford to pay you are headed for financial ruin with financial misery right behind. Believe me always being in a financial bind is sickening. When your bills are past due and your spouse refuses to take the responsibility or decency of at least trying to pay them, this doesn't say very much for the so called "Bread Winner".

In any household there may come a time that due to uncontrollable circumstances, such as serious illness or even death that you may be late paying or simply can't pay, its not that you don't want to you simply can't. Then there is the matter of just not paying because you just don't pay your financial responsibilities and care nothing about not paying them.

Catching up is "Hard as Hell" believe me, my grandfather always told us "If you can't keep up, You can't catch up" so pay your bills. Failing finances in a marriage can, will and do lead to misery. Constant phone calls from creditors demanding to be paid, a of shut-off notice every month, the tension and strain on your body itself is enough to make you sick.

Stress in a marriage is bad enough but when financial strain comes with it, it is sometimes more than any one person can bear, and is the cause of the dissolution of many marriages. If your marriage is already a strained relationship don't let finances make it worse.
