Also MUST a Husband consult transactions and purchases?In a marriage... In terms of Money, is it true a wife MUST consult her husband on transactions, issues and?
What is true is that husband and wife must agree on how to handle their finances. If they agree that they need not consult one another on their purchases, then it is not true that they Must consult one another. If they agree that they should consult each other, then that is what they must do. What works for one family may not work for another.





The real problems come when there is not agreement about how to handle such things. If one married partner believes it is right to make major or even minor purchases without consulting the other, but the other wants to be consulted, there will be tension. This would be an example of not working together. And that is something that marriage is meant to be - two people working together to build a family, a life together. I hate to see marriages where one partner - husband or wife - dictates to the other about how things should be. They need to talk about how to handle things, set out ways to negotiate disagreements so they can be resolved with most benefit for the family as a whole and least unnecessary conflict. Many couples simply do not take the time and effort to work out methods and strategies for ironing out financial and other disagreements before they get married. They get so caught up in the romance of their upcoming nuptials that they forget that marriage is about the nuts and bolts of life, not just the romance of it. And those that are most likely to forget this aspect of preparing for marriage, are also less likely to be mature enough to make these negotiations after the marriage takes place - at least not without a lot of struggle.





That said, as a general rule, I would say that most purchases need to be made with both partners involved in the decision. Me and my honey do talk about many minor purchases, like clothes or other personal items, not so much because we need to approve those purchases, but because we like to share our thoughts with each other. When there is a major purchase to be made - like a car or large appliance, we do talk it out, we both research, we both are involved in the decision as a matter of principle.In a marriage...

No no no Not true


Had to in my previous relationship Had to justify every cent despite the fact that I made at least half of the family income. He was completely paranoid.





Not now. we know what we can buy off our joint account and just do. We spend it as required and if the other wonders they ask.
When considering making major purchases...both the husband and wife need to consult one another....If you are talking about the every day to day small purchases....no need to consult...However my hubby does give me his receipts because I am the one that balances the checkbook....and we keep our receipts for the record of sales tax...for when tax season comes around...
He makes most of it and I spend most of it and he likes me to look perfect always and that costs $$$$ so he has to cough up the $$$$ I need for hair, nails, jewlery, shoes, and everything else I want............we have no problems with this arrangement.





Men are visual, as you know!
For a personal purchase from their own personal account...no.





For a major purchase from the joint account...yes...BOTH must consult the other......you each have personal accounts, don't you? and the joint is just for bills/nessesities?
only when they are poor and need to keep a track of every penny.
Must is a strong word. We do talk about and make large purchases together or with the others knowledge. Smaller things, groceries or clothes for the kids no.
You and your spouse should come up with a system that work for you. I handle the money in my relationship, I don't want to know about every purchase, you know like gas or getting lunch, but always appreciate a heads up on larger unexpected purchases. Actually come to think about it, I always get a phone call before he buys anything out of the ordinary.
depends on the purchase. If he wants new clothes no, if he wanted a new car, yes... and vice versa with me.
