Lets face it one of the argument between couple happens because of financial problems. So before you decide on rishta is there any figure in your mind that you will be settled with? And another question: Does it also matter what he does in terms of his career???
Re: Women: Does it matter how much income your husband to be brings home?
I wouldn't disturb him further with financial stuff. If things aren't going well career wise for him, its for both of us and I trust his capability enough to be able to come out of it. He is a sensible person who would work his way out & if he is unable to I wouldn't knock his head again for a worry he himself is concerned about already.
Re: Women: Does it matter how much income your husband to be brings home?
jitna rizq qismat mein hai milke rehta hai...it doesnt matter what his income is when u maarry him...nothing in life is constant...today u reject him cuz he doesnt have enough money tomorrow he maybe among the rich....or today u marry him cuz he is rich tomorrow he may go bankrupt....
It is best to focus on what is constant...is he an honest hardworking individual...is he kind hearted loving caring respectful? ...education is important too....but money is not ...my father was a bachelors in electrical engineering living on a scholarship when my mom married him?..basically they were pretty much poor but my dad was a shareef kind hearted honest man of principles... and today my mother still has in her life partner all the qualities she wanted and ontop she wants for nothing and my father has his doctorate...it is because of people like them that people from our generation can observe that if u run after just the money u may lose out on things that really matter which are nonmaterial things...run after those things ...those things of substance will be the things jin ke saath zindagi guzregi....rizq u will get as much as is in ur destiny...dont weigh somebody in the scale of "wealth" ... Weigh them on what their personality is....
...as for fighting due to money problems...how does that help? Once again as long as he is working hard then trust in god that u are getting what is in ur naseeb it isnt like ur hubby is intentionally bringing home less money nor does he find any joy in doing so...give the guy a break...
Thats my two cents :p sorry i blabbed
Re: Women: Does it matter how much income your husband to be brings home?
Ofcourse it does matter, matters alot! HOWEVER at the end of the day you can try/fight as much as you want but you will get only what is in your fate 
. Having said that, it still doesn’t mean you just get married to whoever you come across without keeping these things in check. If you are use of a certain lifestyle, you would want and rightly so to get married into a family with similiar lifestyle/status and that just makes things alot more easier. However things happen and we don’t always get what we want or things can change later too but atleast you would know that you tried and made an effort.
Career too also matters in terms of different careers have different demands and you should be aware of that. If you are getting married to say a pilot/doc then you might as well be ready for their hectic schedules.

There would be very few diamonds in the rough who would prefer to have a spouse having a huge bank balance
in the account of hereafter (I have seen people who prefer those who strive for that account a lot more than this world's account)
Re: Women: Does it matter how much income your husband to be brings home?
What if they guy was not career minded, and didnt want to 'further his career'. He is happy doing his current work and the low amount he earns as it is enough for a husband and wife to live on.
It would mean not having the latest cars or tv's, and no spending on irrelavant fashion and gadgets. Most of the money would go on food and bills and saving for the future.

- Marriage Infidelity
- Communication breakdown in relationships
- Physical, psychological or emotional abuse
4. Marital Financial issues - Sexual incompatibility
- Boredom in marriage
- Religious and cultural strains
- Child-rearing issues
- Addiction
- Difference in priorities and expectations
So it seems like that it IS an issue and specially in desi families as top 3 reasons are usually not there in a healthy marriage . A women should think hard about financial stability of the man before falling for him . Plus I think desi women are pretty wise compare to us men when it comes to marriage .

i would prefer his honesty and sincerity over his pocket.
Re: Women: Does it matter how much income your husband to be brings home?
They all need bloody money - That's it and they arent going to accept it
Re: Women: Does it matter how much income your husband to be brings home?
OP isn't asking if the guy should be honest or sincere or dhookay baaz or sharafat whatever. I know his personality is important but we can make another thread on that. Simple question is money important or no??!!
YES it is! I directly relate money with education though. Educated person will make money.
Re: Women: Does it matter how much income your husband to be brings home?
a five-figure salary would just be fine! :)
Re: Women: Does it matter how much income your husband to be brings home?
If a woman happily marries a poor man he can only get richer, and even if they remained poor they would live happy ever after. :)
If a woman marries a rich man they would be happy only as long as they keep their wealth or increase their wealth.

I have a feeling this thread would soon be oozing with hypocrisy.

Arguments over finances occur when there is unrealistic thinking between couples.
If all a husband makes is known by wife and a sensible budget is in place then there is not much chance of argument.
Both should know the income and both should make choices of spending based on their limit.
In terms of career, yes it matters. But that also needs to be looked at realistically. Guy with good career is desired by all or most women but is it really possible for each girl to marry a good professional?
