I mean arranged marriages are a thing and often times the family is picking someone with good income potential and its been done for that reason for a long time. I personally don't see doing it for that reason but I tell you relationships are that much tougher if money is tight. 90% of marital problems in my experience are money related.
The reason most marital problems are money related though doesn’t have to do with the amount of money; it has to do with both partners’ priorities and skill in handling it. If they aren’t compatible, it’ll become painfully obvious a lot faster than other incompatibilities in the relationship.
I mean I can tell you for certain my own experiences are due to amount of money. Both my wife and I are pretty good about being modest in our wants. Lack of money is the issue along with the stress it causes.
