Until Debt Do We Part
Until Debt Do We Part
By Elton Camp
Finances bring trouble in married life
Often introduces all manner of strife
If to marriage, different debt level is brought
Who’s responsible should be given thought
Different spousal values about spending
Brings conflict that can be never ending
If one believes in regular monthly saving
But the other spends it all and isn’t caving
Couples keeping secrets about how they spend
Causes friction & brings the marriage to an end
At times when income proves to be unstable
Harmony between mates can easily disable
Good communication money problems can reduce
For failure to discuss it openly, there’s no excuse
Money seldom directly causes divorce, of course
But it can be a very powerful contributing force
