My Girlfriend Wants Joint Account After Marriage by cutebobo(m): 11:16pm On Jun 04, 2015
In this present 'age', i don't believe couples having joint account all the name of love is necessary. When you truly love someone then you don't need to monitor ur partner. I believe so many couples are having joint account all because of love insecurity. I have been trying to explain this to my girlfriend who has 'being on my neck' for joint account after marriage to prove sincere commitment which i won't for anything in this world do. She seems not to get my point now and its making me feel uncomfortable 'cus if mere dating is filled up with arguing over few thing, what will become of our union. I am an easy going person and i don't trouble in my marriage, so if she keeps on pestering me, i will just call it a quit. Mature minds, please what do u think 'cus i love her but knowing fully well that this pestering of a thing will continue after marriage, i dear not go further.

Does she work as well and would she be contributing to the account?.

If yes, I don't consider having a joint account with wifey a problem. However, I would have a separate account and deposit only certain amount of money that won't hurt me should the unknown happens with the account savings or deposit almost equal percentage as she does.

But if she's not contributing to the account then that's so not going to happen.

Bro, stand your ground. Joint account dey cause gobe especially when the woman loves to spend or has the mentality that her man should spend on her. Let me tell you something you may not realise. That account is only joint to you. But to her, she is in charge and you are just supposed to supply fund steadily.

She has to learn to take your no as well as your yes. Put your foot down. She can't dump you not over it. And if she decides to leave then you'd know what sort of woman she is.

To me, I don't think the "Joint account" is really necessary. Everyone should have their own personal accounts, and know how they spend their money.


As long as you work for yourself, have your own account. Trust me! once you have a joint account with her, you can't be able to close it without her consent, and in the situation where you are the one who works more than her, and is in charge of all the finances at home. It will be a killer to you.

Unless of course, she agrees to contribute to some certain expenses and know how she makes her shopping, because women love to shop. She could spend a lot of money on her personal stuff, that will be quite expensive, and won't give a damn of the price. So choose wisely!

That shouldn't be a problem.
Get her a joint account and get yourself another personal account. If she ask why, tell her that there is some job that you did and the people insist on opening account for them in a specific bank. Case closed

Don't forget to be funding the joint account as the Lord gives you strength but keep most of your money in your personal account
