A successful marriage does not happen by luck or chance even though some couples will disagree.

In reality, it takes hard work, tenacity, and understanding which is where planning and cooperation take precedence.

An intentional couple can work hard to make things happen. Some marriages fail due to the couple’s inability to plan for the present and the unforeseeable future especially as the harsh economy continues to dictate the course of human existence.

The situation has deepened financial inequalities creating pressure as well as opportunities for young Millennials looking to get married. Many are economically driven and progressively set their goals to marry when they are rich and comfortable while others marry rich knowing that financial worries are the root of most of the challenges in marriages today.

Experience is the best teacher

Most people are also of the opinion that financial freedom can only be achieved in marriage if you marry a spouse who can support your vision as many people have become worse off in their marriage due to their spouse’s wasteful spending habits. Many couples have fallen into this situation either due to their lack of purpose or their financial insecurity which can put pressure on the marriage in the long-term. Many millennials have experienced this first-hand growing up in households where their parents were constantly arguing and in conflicts over money matters. The experience they say is the best teacher, the lessons learned have made them more determined to become better at managing their own money and being more financially stable in their marriages.

Millennials are initiative-takers

Marriage is less complicated and easier to navigate today for couples who can control the economics and change the unchangeable, and the Millennials are beginning to break down the walls standing between their own parents’ marital consciousness simply because they can think and plan their finances when compared with many adults in their lives; “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail”. Even though Millennials are known to love the good things of life and would often splash on those experiences however with less burden from the extended family units, they are better informed when making decisions.

Millennials are self-loving

Many young people today can control their resources, although they may face criticism for being a self-loving generation, however, those who are intentional about kindness towards their families often do it with prudence when compared with their parents. Millennials are also known to have a good savings culture and the ability to develop healthy economic habits which can have a massive benefit on their financial future and their happiness in later life.

Millennials are digitally savvy

Millennials are technologically competent and their experience and education have created vast economic opportunities for them to explore, engage, and potentially reap massive benefits too. They are sensitive and open to conversations about their goals and aspirations for their lives and this is evidenced in their interaction on social media platforms. They are independent and resourceful in thinking and able to create a financial roadmap that supports their marital lifestyles. Millennials are more likely to establish their individualities and similarities before making marital commitments.
