many years ago when my wife and i first moved in with each other there were lots of debates about money
Financial stress can be a major burden. How did you get over this issue?
Well since i work more than I am at home we decided that she would handle the money and only have to consult me on major matters or purchases.
That is a smart and well thought out plan
I told her that if she ever messed up and we lost a house or something devisating happened that we would switch and i would take over.
Would you be able to forgive her for such a large mistake?
I like to believe i would, though i would be handling the money from then on.
That is true. And the mistake would not happen again so you do not have to worry about that
