I think you are finding disagreement here where there is none. I believe that married couples should share everything; the work, the money, the stress. And do so out of love which is what it sounds like you and I both do. It’s also good to have one’s own account so that each partner can have a portion of the whole that they can use as they wish. It sounds like the marriage in question involves a difference in maturity and possibly a difference in workload, and that is causing problems.The law is only involved in the initial signing of the agreement and when you wish to break the agreement.
We are talking above the law now. How can one watch someone else work hard and get paid for it and then say that half of the money they worked for belongs to one who didnt work for it?
Yes, of course everyone does everything together, and provide for each other.....but this is done out of love....not because the law requires it.
I would give my wife all the money I work for without thinking........That would all stop If she told me that, by law, half of everything I work for "belongs" to her. This is only something that needs to be discussed before lawyers when you are ready to break the agreement.
This is a terrible way to think, if you desire to remain in a loving relationship. I cant imagine what would possess me to tell my wife that half her check Belongs to me.
