| How do I keep my marriage strong even though...? My husband and I are in serious debt (my husband had a credit card before we got married, he is pretty bad with managing money) and now we have to pay it all off.
We have a daughter together and after she was born he insisted I quit my job to be an "at home mom", well I was recently offered the perfect, great paying job in a town pretty far away, and I get free room and board for myself and my daughter. Only problem is my husband is staying in the town where we live which is about a 4 hour trip by bus. He will keep his job and use his money to pay off the debt. After our debt is paid off he will join me, and hopefully fullfill his dream of starting his own company while I keep a steady job.
I'd like some advice on how to keep our marriage strong even though we will only see each other during the weekends!
I trust my husband, so that's not an issue. And I will handle his money through an account and give him some mad money. I realize this sounds silly, but we both agree it's the best way to go.
Also, he will be living with his mother, so he won't exactly have complete freedom. He will move up with me shortly after or shortly before our debt is paid (6months if even). |
