| if one partner can't make enough, that would be helpful. there is still work to do outside of work so having one partner free to do that would be ok, too. both options are ok. |

| 50/50 I don't really believe in "marrying down" (for guys or girls). The problem with marrying someone who makes significantly less than you, unless you are rich, is that you will be working well 5-15 years longer than you should have been just to compensate for your partner. Stick to people w/ same level of education, unless you are marrying a trophy wife / husband - and to those who find themselves being a trophy, don't be shocked when they trade you in after 5-10 years for a nice, shiny, newer version. |

| 50% definitely, if you both live in a house together then you both should split the cost to be fair. That's what I believe anyways, why would the husband have to pay more and the wife less? Both should be working and doing a equal amount of house work unless some deal is made that one will pay more of the bills and the other has to do more work around the house, but I don't think it should be 0% ever |

Agree pretty much 100% with you, especially with the trophy stuff. When your trophy gets rusty and ugly why wouldn't you trade it in for a better looking one. It's why I think people shouldn't have trophy relationships-wheres the love? Unless that love is only superficial and goes away when that person's looks go |

| like i wanna be spoiled but i also wanna be useful and contribute so yeah it should be 50/50 |
| If she wants to stay home and rather spend her time with the children its fine but if they don't have children I see no reason for her not to go to work. |
| Never ever marry, that solves it pretty much. Only the womens wants it to "secure" their position. |
| All things being equal (income-wise), she would pay the same amount as me. Now, if she DOESN'T, I feel that the percentage should be adjusted. I'll explain below... Lets say I make $100,000 annually and she makes $50,000. Our combined income would make for $150,000 a year, her portion of that is 1/3rd, so her percentage to pay in would be 33%. 33% of all communal bills such as mortgage, utilities, food, family health insurance, and stuff for the kids would be on her. Now lets say she wants to drive a Toyota Sequoia and I am fine with a Rav 4, she is going to be doing 100% of the car payments, insurance, and gas on that vehicle she chose. Likewise, if she wants new shoes or wants to take a spa day that costs $250, that's on her to buy. If I wanna buy guitars or a Dekomori figurine, alllll on me. Seems like the most fair way to do it. Of course if she was totally unemployed, it would probably be on me to provide for everything. In that event though, we'd have to REALLY work out a budget to operate in. |
