Marriage pros:
In our society humans all over the world consider marriage to be one of the most important things in their lives.
Although marriage has some advantages, it also implies many serious problems. Increased level of security. An important pro of marriage is that it provides both partners with a level of security. Another reason why so many people marry is that it is a socially accepted construct.
and you and your partner will be able to build wealth together.
This can include financial assets, building a business together, or also building a house, etc. In many cases, people will not be able to financially support themselves so they need a partner in order to become financially stable. Your partner can also help you to go through hard times in your life.
Life is hard sometimes for all of us and if you have a strong partner who supports you in those difficulties, you’ll be able to easily make it through them.
Marriage cons:
Even though there are many advantages of marriage, there are also many problems associated with it. One major disadvantage of marriage is that you will lose quite a part of your freedom. You will have to make many compromises in order to have a balanced life.
Chances are there You may get trapped in an unhappy marriage. You lose all your affection for your partner but just have to stick around because it’s convenient to carry on the marriage rather than end it. Marriage can lead to a disastrous life in case of divorce. In many cases, only one partner gets eligibility while the other person will only be able to see his or her kids a few times a month.
This can lead to serious mental health problems for people since they really want to spend more time with their kids but they are not allowed to do so by family law.
Husband’s side story:
The OP has been “spiritually married” to his wife for two years, so they don’t really have some hard and fast rules about their marriage. They both own a house together and split half of their bills and supporting each other since the start. They recently had the plan to make children. But then his wife surprised him and put some criteria for him while she will be carrying her pregnancy.
She is asking me 50,000 dollars for compensation for her 6 months of unpaid leaves in order to have a child. Her stance is that she is doing something for us to start a family, She had a printed list of expectations in terms of what she expected financially and listed some things that her insurance may not cover.
HUSBAND’S LOGIC:
Initially, she had the plan to return to work after 6 months, but now she says it’s a possibility that she may require more time off from work and decide, to take up to a year off. So, she had another plan. For the first 6 months, her work will give her 50% of her salary, and I would compensate her for the rest, but for the next 6 months, since her work would not compensate her, and because this is something she is doing for the family, asking me for 50% of her salary instead of 100% for the second 6 month period, and she will take the loss of 50% of her salary. The idea I guess is that both of us “suffer” half the loss of income for the second 6 month period.
The idea of a payment plan to have a child is just gross, And nearly all couples do this without paying their wives to have children. But then, I suppose most couples are married legally and a loss to one person’s income is a loss to everyone. So in our situation, it makes logical sense, but again this idea is getting on his nerves.
WIFE’S LOGIC:
They are not married legally, so she’s risking everything if she has a child with him. She really should ask for more, her body is going through a lot and risking her health too.
FINAL WORDS:
Spiritually married couples have no insurance about the future so the wife has every right to ask for her child’s insurance.
