Indeed, financial dependence is one of the main reasons why victims stay in an abusive relationship!

Figure out a budget with what you can personally afford--hopefully, you presently have a job. Life is much easier before the settlement if you have done this, since you have not put yourself into a financial hole. I also went and opened bank accounts and transferred money just before I left--set up a post office box for privacy. I closed credit cards and got one in my name only. I chose not to keep the house because I could not afford the payments on my own (do NOT agree for him to pay the mortgage company directly for you) I severed all financial ties at the time of the divorce; quit claim the house and got a share of equity; transferred car titles, etc. If you can set up your household with what you can afford on your own, he can't blackmail you in any way by non-payment. Later, I used some of the IRA money for a down payment on my own, smaller, affordable house. So, do what you can for stability for now and the rest will follow in time. It is scary, but one baby step at a time will see you through this.

Why is marital stability important in a marriage?

A marriage unfortunately is held to a socially higher standard than your relationship with your best friend of the same sex. Assuming we are talking about a man and woman in America, then a marriage is a sacred contract with socially accepted values applied. In America your Best Friend can't sue you for on going support when your relationships fizzles out. But if you are married you can ask for such a payment. So just based off that it very important for a male to have stability in the marriage base doff of finances alone. A woman also sees the same value. They may not work and financially depend on their husband and they will endure bad treatment by their spouse to ensure they are taken care of and if children are involved they may look past the negative for the good of their children. But when you remove the legality and social context attached to what marriage should be. All you have is a 2 people that are involved emotionally or financially and nothing is different between that and your relationship with your friends at work or at school. So stability just really means things are harmonic or good.


Is marriage destined?

it is NATURAL for a couple who have a strong, mutal bond of emotional and physical love between them to feel that they want to spend the rest of their lives together by getting married and possibly having children to continue their family. Additionally, marriage SYMBOLIZES that the couple are ONLY (sexually) saving them selves for each other and for no one else. Marriage legitimizes two people's bond and therefore it is a PURE and scandal-free bond. It also provides a secure and PRIVATE base for the individuals to seek emotional aswell as physical satisfaction from one another. Overall, marriage should be a part of men and women's destiny if they are financially and emotionally READY as it assures the continuation of the human race and provides a means of legal physical satisfaction.
