debrief08:

Been married twice. First wedding ceremony was a total show even though I begged for a quiet wedding. Financially draining, cost millions,splashed in papers and magazines the marriage was also financially draining cos we spent loads of money trying to have kids and not forgeting medical bills from beatings and darling husbands drinking and gambling habit. Second wedding was a dream wedding quiet court wedding follwed by a simple candle light reception for 30 guests as lots of relatives who believed divorce is a sin refused to attend, dat was a blessing to me as I ve always hated crowds. The marriage proper, got preggy almost immediately I attend dat house, my dad jokinly told hibby dat it seems he laid ambush for me, got pregnant free of charge. We share expenses and manage resources, second hubby not as rich as first hubby financially but emotionally and mentally second hubby is d richest man in d world. Luckily we don't have younger ones to train. We live modestly and well witin our means, eat at home, create our own entertainment and treat ourselves once in a while. Baby came with extra expenses but we had planned and saved towards dat. So for me I will say depends on the kind of marriage and the understanding and cooperation of d couple

Ouch!! Am truly sorry about the first marriage but am glad to hear the 2nd one is going well though and thanks for keeping it real. Some married folks just won't keep it real by truthfully telling us the reality of a marriage relationship, the challenges and expenses involved.

what is the difference between Expenses and what you just described as responsibility above? Almost all marital responsibility like you called/named it comes with a cost/price. Your expenses will change and that change is to the higher end even if your partner has a job. You cost of living, feeding, bills, just name it will increase and increase again when kids start coming Period. It will definitely be easier to handle if both of you have a job but being married and raising a family is more expenses compare to being single except if you were a gambler, party freak, etc before getting married. Am I complaining? blank NO! its all worth it!

Well, marriage as I have always said is a way of distinguishing the kids from the grown up. So if you are married you've got to step your game up (Get mo money) It just turned out that some men get married (just throw in their towel to and live simple lives) You marriage is what you make of it. You can't give what you don't have. Marriage can be expensive depending on the parties involved. If your wife is flash (Step you game up or go in hard) if she's down to earth and inexpensive alias good manager (Step up a little and give her a good life) But when children come in (Go all out and get that paper) Forget expensive or not, Marriage on the long run is determined by the runner.
