"No finance, no romance" What do you think about it?

[Smack That Ace]

At the end of the day, money is a tool to improve your lifestyle but it cannot guarantee a happy married life

Marriage is like any other relationship, it's shaped and influenced by a bunch of different factors. So money alone can't guarantee a happy marriage. But don't you agree that in today's society, where money plays a bigger role than ever, a financially stable marriage has more advantages than one that's constantly struggling with money?

Money cannot guarantee happiness, but having enough of it will certainly make life and marriage easier than having none.

At the end of the day, people with less money can still have love, but they clearly have fewer option and its harder to live the kind of life they want.

[Salahmu]

Money is important for life and it can make life easier but I don't think that it is something that can determine the amount of love that exists between two people in a relationship. Money can give comfort, security and financial stability but it cannot create genuine loyalty, respect, understanding and emotional support.

Yeah there are marriages that's built with genuine love even if there is know much money but unfortunately experience has also made us to believe that sometimes even with genuine love money could actually determine the strength of the love in marriage if the foundation that leads to the marriage was showered a lot with money because before finally married the lady she has already gotten use to the standard of spending you were giving to her so when it happens that you could not spend as before based on low finance, even if she is going to manage with the person but the love may likely going to reduce a lot because she wouldn't be feeling as much excitement as she was feeling when there is money, so that's why even if a person has money they should reduce the lifestyle they introduce to their woman before marriage

[Rockson1]

Relationship of nowadays is not built based on genuine love but what they stand to gain in the relationship which is why if that reason goes off it becomes very difficult to still remain committed to that relationship anymore.  With or without the presence of money the love of parents still remains but can never be so in that of boyfriends and girlfriend.
Talking about options, I don't think its because they have options while parents do not but because parents has genuine love for there children while that of husband and wife is optional.

Well said, the love of our parents is true definition unconditional love, more especially motherly love, the bond that exist between a child and  mother is unmeasurable with anything, that is why when a child misbehaves, the father might be forming too hard or will I say difficult to aproach, but the mother always have this soft spot, the love of mother can not be compared to that of husband and wife I agree with you.

Without being told, we have heard to seen women mostly doing business with marriages, they pretend to love a man, which turns out to be fake, just because the man is rich, the ask for divorce in any little thing just to get some part of the man's wealth, talk more of when the persons that funds the relationship or marriage is no longer capable, going separate ways becomes too easy.

[Doll2233]

Money bring fake love and happiness, it is only true love that can bring happiness. Lot of couple started form nothing and still enjoy the relationship, they struggled together with each other but they are even more happy because of the understanding the lots have for each other. They are ready to support each other in difficult times, that is true love.

Still money is good to have but person should not make it the reason why they are in that relationship. I am just talking, how the hell do we even know if person is in for the money or the love

That is why difficult time is good too at times because it can reveal the real nature of people. As there is no money, there will be nothing to blow off and show off just to impress another, and if anyone is still willing to  stay and struggle with you that can mean much than person who only is seen when things is good

I don't agree that money brings fake love or gives fake happiness. Having financial stability is good it can reduce stress and it also gives financial freedom to the couple to freely enjoy their time. Most of time the relationship becomes difficult to handle not because the love fades but because of the constant financial pressure and lack of money to meet daily needs.
If Someone is struggling with you does not prove that they love you. Sometimes people stay with you because they get emotionally attached and they might not have other option or plans same thing applies to wealthy relationships. If a person has money does not guarantee that the partner is interested only in the money, not in him. The main test is how the couple behave with each other when the circumstances change whether they are rich or poor

Money is important for life and it can make life easier but I don't think that it is something that can determine the amount of love that exists between two people in a relationship. Money can give comfort, security and financial stability but it cannot create genuine loyalty, respect, understanding and emotional support. Every relationship, including marriage tested when things are difficult. If two people truly love and respect each other then they can face any sort of financial problem together rather than just letting money decide the value of their relationship. We cannot deny the importance of financial stability especially when building a family but just saying that people with less money do not have love is not fair. At the end of the day, money is a tool to improve your lifestyle but it cannot guarantee a happy married life

I don't know what you mean by money may not determine the level of love you may get from your spouse or wife.
Hey, do not let anyone to deceive you, you need money to maintain your responsibility as a man and people that don't have the money will suffer from disrespect and loneliness. Money will answer your needs and you have to worker smarter to make sure that every bills are being paid because you may lose your respect as the head of the family if you don't have the money to fix your problem.
A man that is wealthy will not have problem taking care of his bills and also he wouldn't be scared to make crazy decisions in the family.
Live is not comfortable for someone that don't have money.

Many times, financial problems cause conflict in a couple. When pressure builds up in a relationship over daily expenses, that pressure often ruins the relationship. This does not mean that money alone can keep your relationship healthy. I personally think that if there is no trust, responsibility, and awareness between the two of you about how money is being used, then it can become a natural thing to have arguments in a relationship.

A person I know has a well-paid job. But he spends irresponsibly and hides financial matters from his partner, which often causes problems between them. So, it is not possible to deny the importance of money to make a relationship beautiful, but at the same time, there needs to be trust and responsibility between the two.

Even though the main feeling about love can manifest between two people without money, but at a certain stage in the relationship, money or finance will be very much needed to sustain the relationship. In short there are some societies or countries now that a man without money finds it difficult to get involved in a romantic relationship and not only in a romantic relationships but relationships with family, friends and relatives. Relationships nowadays is being monetized. The major problem people are facing in relationships now is because of finances and it looks like the financial responsibility in a relationship has been one sided meaning that one of them especially the man is the one carrying the whole financial responsibility which is not good. Finance is needed to sustain a long term relationship no doubt about that but it shouldn’t be one sided, the both parties have to be involved in the financial responsibility if not, such relationship won’t last long.

Money is very important in our lives, there is nothing you do without money. Maintaining relationship has alot to do with money or finance that's why many infidelity in marriage is caused by lack of finance. Love without money in a relationship is not complete because if that love continue for long without money, it dies a natural death because it deprives you off taking your relationship to another level. When there is no money in a relationship there will be no respect or loyalty, if there is any, with time it will vanish because of no money. Infact money make life comfortable for everyone, and when it is no longer available everything turns the opposite. People say money is not everything but it is a major factor in every aspect of life.

[Munroe123]

In my own view, love might spark a relationship, but financial stability gives it the space to survive and grow. In other words, love may spark the initial flame, but empty pockets bring the strain, without the means to build a life, romance yields to constant strife.

Money isn't everything but from what you just said, it sounds like exact opposite to me

Money isn't just a major factor, actually it's pretty much everything in life these days.
There's no corner of society that doesn't need it.
Got money, you get almost everything.
No money, you can't even survive, let alone get respect or love.

Imo anyone saying money isn't everything is just lying to themselves. Deep down they know better.

[Female King]

When there is money the love become sweeter, one of the reason why most relationship didn't work out was lack of money, money is actually everything people need but for sure money can't doesn't keep a relationship there are women who still cheat in their relationship despite there is money to take care of everything that is needed, couple gets more happier when there bills are been taken care of and what they need they get without struggling for it. We all need finance to keep things moving.

[bakasabo]

Yet nobody has spoken here about length of love and how people express it. Do everyone believe that couple who are married for 30-50 years still feel love, or these are two people who are used to each other, they find it comfortable to live with each other and life has turned into routine? What many has described here; examples that with money person can achieve more and give more "love". I think what you have said is called a romantic period or passion, when partners are ready to spend every single cent on each other. I agree that for romantic period finances are very important, but true love money are both important and not. That depends on how people managed to find connection between each other. But I also agree with those who say that no money is factor that makes love fade. We are living now in a world where everything is measured with money and love is no exception.

Thank you very much for saying this, people actually still do love genuinely but when there is money it becomes sweeter and more romantic. Relationships actually come with its own needs and honestly when there is no money for even the basic stuffs, it has a way of bringing down the flame but I won’t lie some persons walk away because they can’t continue that way while some still stay.

[Anayochukwu]

Money is very important in every relationships, if you have it you can afford to take care of your expenses without stress and you can afford to surprise your spouse, girlfriend or boyfriend with gifts which would delight them. When money is available in a relationship there is less quarrels about the basic things of life because there are adequate provisions for them, couples would wake up happy every morning knowing that they can afford the material things that they need and want.

Love is a verb which means that it is an action word and when it is expressed in physical terms it helps to strengthen the bonds between couples, in this generation love is mostly expressed in physical things which money can buy. Imagine surprising your partner with a brand new car for their birthday, it would surely help to express your feelings of love or taking the person on a vacation that is fully funded by you, the romance would be massive.

Can romance be meaningful in a relationship without money to take care of material things to blossom and rekindle the romance? If a couple are struggling to survive which means that they can hardly afford basic necessities and luxuries of life do you think that they will be truly happy or just managing to remain in the relationship?

So you are basically saying that money is the only thing that makes people happy in their relationship?

Money is important in every relationship but we should also try to live in content, it is only in this present generation that money drives the relationship (though I have seen genuine love without money) and money also decide for them who to love and who not to love. There are many poor couple living comfortably with each other and are happy because they feel genuine love for each other and I'm not saying that money is bad but it shouldn't stop you from experiencing real love and since you only mentioned girlfriend or boyfriend they both still have the chance to hustle together before getting married and having kids, having kids without money to take care of them is where I draw the line.

[Swordsoffreedom]

money is actually everything people need but for sure money can't doesn't keep a relationship there are women who still cheat in their relationship despite there is money to take care of everything that is needed,

This just goes to show money is not everything and it is not like women only marry for money like some guys keeps pushing that narrative.

It also shows money can solve a lot of problem in life, but sometime it just can't dictate how person feels.

Money can make love sweeter, sure, but that's still not enough to keep a relationship going for years. Love, respect and sincerity matter just as much when it comes to making a relationship last.

Money is a voice that speaks louder than anything in a romantic relationship or among families and friends, is very hard to see genuine love in the society today, it can even get to the point that your own parents that birth you can give up on you when you have no money to more of a romance partner though this is not supposed to be so, because love should be shown unconditionally while having money to take responsibilities solidifies it as a secondary factor. Whether the financial responsibilities is one sided or not, it is not supposed to be a problem where real love exists, but you have to understand one thing too which is, as a man the society is expecting a lot from you naturally.

To get by in life, we still need food, clothes and basic necessitie...So genuine love doesn't mean pretending money has no place in a relationship. You can love someone unconditionally, but that doesn't make basic need disappear. You still have rent, food and all kinds of other expenses to deal with. So thinking money shouldn't affect relationship as long as the love is real is kinda off.

You can love your kid with all your heart, but that wil not put food in their stomach. If you really love them, you will not let them go hungry or live in poverty. Real love is shown through actions, not just word. Sometime taking financial responsibility and working to give your family better life is also  way of showing love. Just my two cents.

[Perfect-World]

If that existed, I mean romance without finance, it was before and it's gonna be scarce now.

In this present world, money is everything. Nothing moves well without money. I lady can assume to live you and stay with you, but common, she needs a good life as nobody wants to suffer and not live comfortably. Don't be surprised she can leave just anyday.

Thats why it has become so important that men make money so they can take care of themselves and even there relationship or marriage and family. The same goes to somehow the females. If they make money, they are more stable and can take care of things, which gives them self respect and worth. Every man should make money. It's just too important. No finance, no romance. It's very true. Even if you get it, it's not going to be in the fullest.
