Economic crisis and relationship between couples

The economic crisis and financial difficulties also have a negative impact on family and other cohabitation relationships.

The people we talked to in the framework of “Inflation Stories” say that due to the economic crisis in the country, tension has increased in their homes, and that they quarrel with their spouses more than before due to the difficulty of making a living.

According to experts, it is impossible not to spoil relations in the conditions of financial difficulties.

Failure to solve the economic problems of the family is shown in the third place and the reasons for divorce 10 percent.

“According to psychologist Ece Oral Albayrag speaking to BBC Turkish, financial difficulties do not necessarily result in divorce; but when the bonds of trust, closeness, and love are broken, the possibility of separation increases.

Ece Oral Albayrak says that one of the most common cases in recent times is “economic deception”:

“Economic cheating husband or wife secretly bank It happens when one opens an account or takes a loan without the knowledge of the other. This leads to economic insecurity. Therefore, it is very important to be open and transparent.”

But it is constantly controlling each other or each other report it should not become a tradition to force giving; because such an approach creates economic violence.

Economic abuse is controlling, testing, humiliating and punishing a partner through the use of material advantage.

Tunc Tataker, a psychology consultant, says that economic recession is a situation that threatens the psychological and physical state; It is difficult to overcome problems in relationships without crossing this barrier.

Therefore, he recommends reducing elements of conflict in relationships until economic difficulties are resolved.

Tataker emphasizes that the first thing couples should do is talk about their real situation:

“Take paper and pen and go behind the desk. How much is our income, how much is our cost? What are the economic principles of our family? Will we borrow or lend? How should we react when a family member or a friend asks us for financial assistance? This discussion also creates the sense of shared destiny necessary for coexistence. If you don’t have this feeling, you can’t be a couple.”

Experts say when couples discuss their financial situation, they should keep in mind that everyone’s behavior with money and financial background is different.

That’s why couples should be open about what they think and feel about money and how they want to spend it.

Oral Albayrak notes that “It is important for husband and wife to know each other. Their priorities may be different. One may want to buy a house, buy a car or invest. Another may say that I am earning now and want to spend. That is, what they consider important, valuable or important may differ. “Knowing this doesn’t always prevent conflict, but it can make couples more prepared and reduce conflict.”

USAAmanda Clayman, a financial therapist speaking to NPR’s public radio station, explains the situation:

“Being vulnerable is one of the most important parts of intimacy. Even if everything is messed up, being able to work it out together, sharing this situation with someone – that’s where magical bonds form.”
