It's common in our society how money and its power can put relationships into a dilemma. Many famous people like celebrities were separated because of money. We all want to love and to be loved, finding the right person which was based on caring and respect. But what happens when money takes place?

Famous people from Charlemagne's money and power play to unite two kingdoms together by marrying and then fighting Desiderata, Ted Turner's divorce from Jane Fonda to Tyga's money affecting his relationship with Kylie Jenner. These are known to be wealthy and famous persons that were ruined by money, but the question is; does money can also tear normal relationships for an ordinary person like us?

Well, Yes. It can also affect us, supported by the statement of Forbes. Fighting over money is not a rare issue because in our generation today we all must deal with money every day to sustain or need and wants to wither we like it or not. Money is with us all the time, from your mortgage bills, your electric bill, internet bill, your college debt and etc. Even if you don't think about it, it is necessary to face all about this problem involving money.

Problems involving money are personal issues. In general, money is life report card and for others, it may be a way to control a relationship. Some people are blinded by the way they decide to handle their money.

Financial transparency can be the only way any relationship can somehow work, it means about being open with your salaries, debt, assets, and your financial goals. Without the value of openness, secret results and stress happen involving money. Based on the survey of Private Company Services with their 2016 Employee Financial Wellness Survey, their researchers found out that 52 percent of their employees are stressed about their finances.

Being open minded and a regular communication to your partner about the money might lower the problems and stress in your relationship. As reported by TD Bank, along with their June 2015 Couples & Money study, it is clearer that couples who talk about money at least once a week feel happier and lighter in their relationship; 42 percent for extremely happy and 38 percent on the average.

We are all born to be loved and capable of loving someone. So let's not ruin our good relationship with our partners just because of money misunderstandings. People are naturally equipped with financial personalities; either spenders or savers but let's be open minded and set aside money issues when it comes to your love ones.
