Money factors in with numerous different examples. The ways I've seen it are as follows:
One person has a different concept of what good spending habits are than the other. If the two people aren't making the bills together, and the reason is because of one and not the other, things get tense. Maybe the man works and the woman doesn't. Maybe (like in some relationships I know of) the woman has gotten higher education and a high paying job while the husband still works at Mcdonalds. (he might feel less than attiquite, or she might feel like he's not contributing enough.) Money is a great great stress. I've seen money destroy relationships, even when both people were doing everything they can to be good partners to the other. You have to be careful of that shit...
