How important to you is financial security in a relationship/marriage?

[Army Wife'79]

I'd say a 10. I'm not saying I wanted him to be rich but studies show the main cause of problems in the marriage is "money" so it's important to be on the same wave length. If you have debt it will cause stress which will cause fights etc.
Too many kids now want to live like their parents do now, not like they did when the parents married. Big screen TV's, fancy electronic gadgets etc. It's a downward spiral into financial ruin. If you can't afford to pay cash, don't buy it and always pay your credit cards off monthly.
If one is a "saver" and the other a "spender" there will be fights. If both are "spenders" you will end up bankrupt or divorced but if you are both "savers" you will have a happier marriage according to an article I read.
