Recession hurting a lot of marriages

Everyone knows that one of the main things that destroys relationships is money.  It seems that this recession is not only taking it’s toll on investors and home owners but also on their marriages.  That’s not too hard to figure out is it?

If there’s not enough money to pay the bills, of course it causes major stress between the couple.  Of course they don’t mean to blame the other for being laid off but it’s hard not to sometimes.  I’m just really glad that I’m not in a relationship right now.  I have a hard enough time keeping myself happy, much less trying to keep my partner happy too.

Sure my dinners don’t have nearly as much steak or high priced meats as they did a few months ago.  You cut back where you can and hope for the best but when there’s two of you and a mortgage, two car payments and so on, it’s hard to cut back when you have next to nothing coming in.  I wish them all the best and hope and pray that the recession doesn’t break up as many families as it has displaced workers.
