I know many times over men will stress more over bills than some of the ladies I know, but who stressed more over all and how can we work together (as most families need to) in order to lower the stress, save ourselves from heart issues later and have a good time doing it?

I think women tend to stress more, personally. A lot of us tend to try to do it all, and as a result stress too much. I think a good marriage or partnership will divide the really stressful stuff up(like bills!) equally so the couple can work together.

It really depends upon the individual. There are different ways couples split up responsibility for bills. A lot of times the husband will shoulder the responsibility and never tell the wife they are in financial difficulty until they are in deep. So really it depends upon the couple, I think.

In my case, I have complete control over our bills and my dear husband doesn't concern himself about them at all. His financial needs aren't much. He just wants enough money for gas and maybe snacks each week.

However, now that his income has been somewhat reduced and we don't have enough to cover everything; it seems everything is my fault. :(
