Why Are Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union Even Married?

Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union are certainly not in a traditional marriage. In a recent interview, Gabrielle Union revealed that she and her husband split all of their bills. This is not something that should be normalized. Just combine finances! Why are they even married?

My marriage is very old school. I work, my wife is a stay at home mom. My wife took my last name. We combined all of our finances from bank accounts to retirement. We file taxes jointly. We are each others beneficiaries on everything. All of our real estate is owned jointly. We don’t have a prenup. I’ve had other guys tell me I’m not smart for doing things this way, but I just don’t care about their opinions. I have full trust in my wife and she fully trusts me.

The minute he told her this was "My house"....the rules changed. Their relationship/monetary dynamic went from 100/100 to 50/50. When a marriage is built on a faulty, distrustful premise, expect financial negotiations to be met in the same manner. The irony... Most Married couples who are from the lower to middle income class bracket tend to see their marriage as 100/100. When God is not in the center of your marriage, there will be no amount of money that will compensate for His absence. God is needed in EVERY marriage. Not million dollar weddings for 'already' distrusted couples. Marriages are sacred unions. We need to feel safe in these unions.

[@anasalazar6164]

Marriage should also be built on respect for one another. When one person (in this case, him) tells the other (her) that this was "my house that I paid for", he was trying to "put her in her place" so to speak, or shut her down. She being the beautiful Hollywood starlet that she is who had a career of her own and her own money, simply wasn't having it! And him being the once super-popular, superstar of the Miami Heat NBA basketball team who won a number of NBA championships, tried to tell her who was boss in this relationship (because he is worth more money than her?). But to be fair, perhaps marriage isn't a good idea for celebrity power couples like them, especially when she is 10 years older than him, which is very unusual.

[@hannahslovely]

What I find ironic about the 50/50 ideology in marriage, especially in this case, is that the individual with the smaller income is going to have to give MORE (of their % income) in order to give 50/50. In the example of Wade and Union buying a house, given the assumption that her income is lower she must give a larger % of her money to meet those 50/50 costs (given his net worth is 10x higher). Its paradoxical that in their dedication to a so-called "50/50 marriage", Gabrielle is having to give so much more than Dwayne is to keep up the 50/50 costs.

[@ginomonochrome5235]

No. She’s LITERALLY giving the same amount

[@hannahslovely]

@@ginomonochrome5235 I mean, she has to give more of in association to her % of income (as her net worth is less than his). They could both give the same amount (say 100,000 dollars), but that 100,000 dollars might be 80% of her monthly income, whereas is might only be 10% of his, which would be a bigger burden to her than to him.

[@traceynelson2170]

​@@hannahslovelyyes that's correct, it's the same as earning let's say 5000 and your spouse earns 9000 and the rent is 2000 so it's split 50/50 so you left with 4000 for the month whereas your spouse is left with 8000 ,it's fare in theory but in reality you will resent that spouse

My parents have been married for almost 30 years and in that time I have never known them to have shared accounts. They have always given each other full access. I never felt like it affected my upbringing or changed their dedication to giving me every advantage possible. As a person who got married at 22, I think that marriage is about sacrifice, teamwork, and acknowledging what matters to both of you. My husband didn’t care if we had the same last name, but he did care as much as I do that we both give 100 percent in ways that supersede traditional marriage roles.

Agree with most of this except the surname part, but that’s because I’m Hispanic. In Hispanic culture married women don’t usually add the husband’s surname to theirs . But if they do it would be something like Example: Maria Dolores Ruiz Lara marries Jose Francisco Garcia Perez. If she decides to take the husbands name it would be: Maria Dolores Ruiz Lara de Garcia or Maria Ruiz de Garcia if she wants to shorten it, but again it is uncommon. It’s completely okay not acquiring your husbands name and still understand the traditional roles of husband and wife.
