Reinvesting Returns Back into Your Marriage

In the financial world, “a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRiP) is a program that allows investors to reinvest their cash dividends into additional shares of the underlying stock.”

Although the term can apply to any automatic reinvestment arrangement set up through a brokerage or investment company, it generally refers to a formal program offered by a publicly traded corporation to existing shareholders.

Consider your marriage and every department of it as the valuable stock(s) that are either increasing or decreasing in value over time. Marital investments allow “investors” (spouses) to reinvest their (dividends) positive and meaningful efforts into additional shares of the essential stock as time passes, yet daily.

In the market, both the casual and savvy shareholders hope their financial investments gives them good returns such as more stocks and shares, which increases the value of their holdings. There is an intense amount of hope that what tips they’ve received pans out […an old gold prospector term].

There really is not much difference when it comes to marital investments. The areas and labors you place your time, efforts and energy will determine (in the near and far term) the returns you will see.  It matters not if you are newly married, learning and trying to find your way, or you have been married for 25 years. There is no time to coast. You can’t.

The time and endeavors you put in must come from often times, some intense research. However, just watching and listening will often do the trick.  Make spousal investing moments make sense and make certain they “fit” your mate.  Don’t give them something you like.  Be confident that it is something they like. 

If set up properly, you can have (see) your marital dividends to automatically pour back into your mate and relationship.  Don’t take the interest and dividends out and spend them elsewhere or place them into another “sure thing.” Your home, marriage and spouse are sure to be the best asset you can count on.

Key Takeaways

  • A Marital Dividend Reinvestment Plan, or MDRiP, automatically uses the “loving proceeds” generated from time and knowledge dividend stocks to purchase more shares of the marriage.

  • This strategy allows husband and wife investors to compound their returns over time by accumulating more shares, which themselves pay dividends that will be reinvested.

The Bottom Line

Some other companies pay out dividends, but those stock values are often inflated and there are losses to be experienced. There is a GREAT beneficial feature of owning your own stock, allowing for fixed and long-term income to be distributed to the shareholder.
