Married Couples & Bank Accounts

Married- 5 years

Accounts- Several

1. Main Account is Joint Account

2. Saving Account is in my wife's name

Property- House is in my name [complex loan]. Wife never complained. Though we joke here and there. All cars in her name, so its never like "This should be in my name.."

Divide Income?- We all post our incomes in our joint account. Pay all bills from that account. Usually it is me who transfer variable amount from joint account to Saving account. Big purchase (>500) involves decision from both of us. Large purchase [>10000] involves getting advice from my parent and also from her mummy/daddy.

Emails/FB/Banks/Bills Accounts: All login details are open between us. There is no account that we do not share with each other. I do not recommend this for everybody but give it a try, it might work for you guys. I do see lots of married couple (friends) changing their passwords couple of months after they get married.

Clear all doubts and misunderstanding with your partner. Always keep open communication level and leave haumai at your doorstep. Talk about everything with each other.

However, Singhnia needs to be aware of our sikh culture when moving to in-laws house - respecting elders, supporting close family and relatives.

Very nice reply by lowest of the low singhni !

Fine, Dowry is against Sikh beliefs but have you seen anyone getting married without financial consideration.

Whether it's cash, property, immigration or salary.

Most parents get grooms from India coz it's Cheaper otherwise do you think Indian grooms are compatible with Western brides.

Due to the lure of maya even Indian Akhand kirtani's get married to Loose western counterparts.

Free (ticket & visa) is all it takes !

Guest your theory is stupid but sadly a lot of desi folk have similar/same thinking as you. Maya shouldn't come into it. A girl does not come with a price tag on her. Therefore if anything both the girl and boy should pay to live under the in laws roof because they have married and become 1 joth! Anyway let's focus on the main thread.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
