Week 3 Blog prompt

Is MONEY IMPORTANT in a RELATIONSHIP??

Money is somehow is important in a relationship. Yes, I do strongly agree that LOVE is all it matters when it comes to relationship. However, in another perspective, relationship is also providing security to our soul mate, providing her a safe, comfortable environment and also financial stability. Without money, how do you provide a safe environment for her? Without money, how are you going to give her happiness? Without money, how are you going to provide a sense of security to her. Thus, money plays quite a certain role when it comes to building and maintaining a relationship. However, I am NOT saying that money is the CRITERIA when it comes to relationship. L.O.V.E is definitely the CRITERIA when it comes to relationships. Love is priceless!(: In relationships, love is always felt and found. Money is just "on the surface". Money does not make one's heart satisfied or warmth, but LOVE can touch and move one's heart. Thus in relationships, LOVE satisfy couples emotionally, but money satisfy couples physically.

Do you think that there is an upward trend of relationships and marriages valuing money over other qualities?

Well, although there are relationships and marriages valuing money over other qualities, but however, it does not mean that there is an upward trend. I personally STRONGLY BELIEVE that there is NO UPWARD TREND! In this world today, you can see many couples posting messages of how much they love one another and willing to spent their lives together for the rest of their lives. They hardly ever talked about money. There will definitely be people considering about money before marrying, but however, love matters more. What is money when you are going to spent the rest of your lives with your soul mate? In my opinion, couples who tie the knot when they only value money, I feel that they had just wasted their entire lifetime! WHAT A WASTE! When you marry your soul mate, you marry her/his flaws as well! Because they are going to depend on one another for their rest of their lives! In conclusion, I believe that there will not be an upward trend of relationships and marriages valuing money more than valuing other qualities although there are still some examples in this world.

I like the part "relationship is also providing security to our soul mate", however, if we dont have the means to support our soul mates, are we still going go in relationship whereby it is vulnerable to financial problems?

Hey William! For the first question, I think that you have gone off topic, from the importance of money in a relationship to the importance of love. However, everything you said without money we can't do, I disagree. According to you, I infer that you need money to provide security to your partner? You need money to proved her happiness? You need money to provide her with a SENSE of security? Provide security through the technological way, yes, you need a substantial amount of money but provide her with a sense of security, you don't even need a single cent. You just have to make sure she feels that you will be there in her time of trouble or need. Happiness is the same thing, you marry her because of the fact that both parties make each other happy not because I have the money and I can then bring joy to her life. Just because I have the money to bring her to theme parks for fun and happiness doesn't mean that I can't bring her joy without wealth. To me, happiness without the use of money is the simplest and the best because it came from your heart and it would still bring her happiness.

Hi William, I like how you ended off saying "LOVE satisfy couples emotionally, but money satisfy couples physically". Perhaps you could have replaced the word "physically" with "financially". I think that there can be more than one criteria when it comes to relationships, thus both money and love can be considered as criterias. You provided a few other logical explanations as well! Well done.
