Marriage is scary is currently a hot topic. Is it true that marriage is that scary? Actually, marriage is not scary if every couple entering this new chapter of life applies the right mindset in married life. How can you change marriage is scary to marriage is not scary?
From Marriage is Scary to Marriage is Not Scary
Every couple can live a lasting and happy married life if they realize that marriage is a joint responsibility, not the responsibility of just one party, whether the wife or the husband alone.
By understanding this shared responsibility, husband and wive can learn to become more appreciative and respectful of each other over time, while remaining aware of each other's roles and contributions to creating a marriage filled with happiness.
You need to realize that marriage also has opportunities for various kinds of mistakes to occur, both by husband and wife. It is important for every couple to understand and forgive each other. It is also important to always learn from the mistakes you have made and not repeat them again in the future.
Apart from that, don't ignore financial matters. It cannot be denied that finances play a role in maintaining household stability. Therefore, managing finances requires communication, openness and transparency between husband and wife.
Ustadz Abdurrahman Zahier at the Jago Syariah talk show at Halal Fair Yogyakarta 2024 emphasized the importance of family financial priorities.
"It will be nice if each couple can sit down together to agree on the family's financial priorities, including considering children's education plans. Therefore, it is important to instill a simple lifestyle, a lifestyle that is not excessive or live within your means. It can start by making a budget plan regularly."
Jago/Jago Syariah Shared Pocket Makes It Easy for Couples to Manage Finances Together in a More Open Way
Managing family finances can be easier and more practical with the Shared Pocket. This feature, available in the Jago application, allows financial collaboration between husband and wife in an open and transparent manner. By managing finances together, husband and wive can be more aware of the importance of carrying out financial responsibilities together, not placing the burden on one party alone.
Husband and wife can decide and agree on what needs they want to manage together. After that, use the Jago/Jago Syariah Shared Pocket in the Jago application to start managing your funds.
What are the benefits of the Shared Pocket for managing family finances so that marriage is not scary?
1. Husband and wife can have more than one Shared Pocket for managing family finances
If there are many needs that you and your spouse want to manage together, there is no need to worry. In the Jago application, you can create more than one Shared Pocket.
For example, you two want to manage money for household needs together, and at the same time you also want to build your child's education funds and start saving for a vacation. You can create three Shared Pockets so that the funds for each need don't mix with each other.
2. Family financial management is easy and practical with the Shared Pocket on husband and wife's cellphones
To create a Shared Pocket, just one person does it, be it the husband or wife. Later, the Shared Pocket owner can invite their spouse to join.
What makes it practical and hassle-free is that the Shared Pocket members can access the Shared Pocket via the Jago application on their own cellphone.
So, there is no need to remember or write down the Shared Pocket number to move or transfer money. Simply move money from another Pocket that is the source of funds to the Shared Pocket.
3. Transparency when managing family finances is maintained in the Shared Pocket
With access to the Shared Pocket available in the Jago application of every member and the owner, husband and wife can both see all transactions in the Pocket. With transparency in managing finances that is always maintained, harmony between husband and wife will always be well maintained as well. The thought of marriage is scary no longer exists.
4. Husband and wife can choose their role in managing family finances in the Shared Pocket
What's unique about the Shared Pocket is that husband and wife can mutually agree on their roles in financial management. Can husband and wife both use the money in the Shared Pocket or is it easier if only one of you has the 'can spend’ role?
You and your spouse can also agree to set a daily transaction limit for the Shared Pocket. If you have reached the limit, then the money in the Shared Pocket can no longer be used and you have to wait for the next day to be able to make transactions again. The daily transaction limit in question also includes transferring money to other Pockets, not just outgoing transactions.
Whatever the member's role in the Shared Pocket, as stated in the previous point, transaction history will always be visible to all Pocket members to maintain transparency.
