Marriages Tanked By Money Problems
Jordan and Jennifer were living high. Their parents cautioned them that if they didn’t stop, they would suffer severe consequences and their marriage would be in danger.
Basically telling their two Dads and two Moms to mind their own business, Jordan and Jennifer happily refused to alter their habits. They went on expensive vacations, bought new furniture on a regular basis, and supplied their kids with designer clothes and every conceivable game and toy available. Furthermore, the couple helped anyone else in financial trouble, trying to appear rich and generous.
It took a short time before their four parents realized that they were being lied to – and that the money they kept providing for “emergencies” was simply going to buying more stuff.
Soon, they closed off all funds and refused to give Jordan and Jennifer any more funds. “Sorry,” they said, “the home bank is closed.”
As the noose began to tighten, they blamed their parents and each other. The blaming dissolved into bitter fighting between this husband and wife. About the time they had to take out a third mortgage on their home in order to meet even the most basic of their debts, they realized that their marriage wasn’t going to make it. They both wanted out. The children, bewildered and dismayed, watched as their world began to dissolve around them.
Counselors they went to could make no headway because neither Jordan nor Jennifer had any intention of taking their advice, even to save their marriage. Their union dissolved, the children moved into unhealthy rebellion and their parents still are loaded down with debt.
