Why do couples worry about different things?

My wife is worried that I will cheat on her someday, meanwhile, I'm worried that she'll misuse her and our credit cards and make it difficult for us -- financially -- in the future.

Is this normal? Women generally focus more on emotional/psychological matters (i.e. fidelity, faithfulness, love, etc.) while men generally focus more on practical issues (i.e. financial obligations, house maintenance, car upkeep, credit scores and ratings, etc.)

And lastly... how can we strike a balance to satisfy each others' needs?

    Most men want power, money, security, name, and tend to feel that women should understand that by default.

    Most women seek a life partner, soulmate, someone who will always be with them. Who will always take care.....

    It is normal, spend more time with your wife, share your practical issues with her. she will stop worring and you will strike a balance.
