The sacred 'payslip' and marriage conflicts

Some consider its contents a sacred secret that should never be revealed to their husband or wife, and would rather die than divulge what all those deductions mean to the family. Others believe that when your spouse knows how much you earn and how you spend it, you are setting the stage for harmonious relationship free of suspicion and conflict.

Many people have been shocked to discover how much their spouses earn from their jobs and other sources -when they stumble on payslips and other documents like title deeds, bank statements, share certificates and so on.
