do you need money to love????

Money is not a prerequisite to love but I guess one can learn a lot about a person by noting their attitude towards money. Does the person have a job and is he or she contributing to society? Is the person irresponsible with money? One of my friends fell in love and married a man who still has no idea about money and has literally sent the family broke with his stupid wasteful attitude. He would not go to work when he didn't feel like it which resulted in his becoming unemployed. The stress of his irresponsible attitude towards finances caused their marriage break-up. So just because a person does not have much money does not mean he or she is not worthy of love, it's the attitude and integrity toward it that matter I think.

I think I understand what you are trying to say, And yes, you must not think that you need money to fall in love, I think our parents just want that we must be established... And surely its not a prerequisite to love, but this thing you have to think for someone you love because if they are happy you will be happy...

No you are not thinking foolish. But, a little unrealistic. I have a BF know for two years. And the money is not easy to come by. He does not have regular job. When he works , no problem, but when he does not... Things get irritating in the house front. I have some money, but cannot pay everything by myself. Him being at home to long causes friction. Many times we don't have food in the refrigerator. We get bored and sleep the whole day, because we have nothing else to do. Without money you stay home and do nothing. It is not helping in a relationship. There are times when I feel like giving up, because this is getting me no where. And I think most people will have this after a couple of years. Yes we Love each other, but we need to live too. Sure in the beginning you can Love without money, living on Love. But after a while that becomes a fairy tale. You need money in a relationship. Not a lot, but enough to pay the bills and not have financial problems. With financial problems comes stress, and no relationship needs this kind of stress. Good luck.

Hi,parthu28,its nice of you to say that way.Hold on to your own view coz the way you think is very encouraging.As long as I meet the one with whom Im truly in love,I wont care a bit about how much money he has.We only need money to live.Nice say!I cant understand men regard money as the foundation of love.

I agree with you, parthu. Although money is needed to support a person, it should never be the make it or break it component of a relationship. You could spend your life with a wealthy person and struggle finding happiness because truth is if it all comes down to money, the human component takes a back seat. Or, you could spend you life struggling financially with someone not so wealthy, but who will be right there with you every step of the way, as you both figure out together the steps you will take to get yourselves out of whatever debt you are in.

money should never have anything to do with love but sometimes people feel that they need money from someone just to love them, meaning they care more about having everything they want instead of the person themselves, I would hate to be with someone that doesn't have any money but I also don't want to be with someone that only thinks about money instead of me.

I sure don't Money is one thing that never has bothered me in any way

Money is apparently the most element in the context of love. People might say love is more important than money. However, I feel otherwise. What is love if the couple has to squabble daily or hourly over money matters. If there is money, everything is sweet and lovely because there is no worry over money. Life is a bliss. hence, in my opinion, money is needed to love as most love is conditional. Even unconditional love like motherly love can waiver because of money.

I agree with you word to word dear. Money is required not to love but to live.

Well you need money to live so money does have a place in life in that sense but I believe that love is a matter of the heart and that money has no place to play in it. Some people marry solely for money and if that is what they want then fine. Money has never been that important to me. Sure I like to have a house and food and clothes but I am content with what I have. I am not interested in being rich and have no wish to live like some wealthy people do. There is nothing wrong with loving someone if you do not earn money. Many couples have only one income and I know of couples where the wife worked and the husband stayed home and cared for the children. She was business minded and he was more of a hippy and it worked for them.

No. Loving someone has little to do with money, either yours or theirs. However, there are some practical realities that have to be dealt with when entering into a life with someone. Money, is one of those realities. Love may conquer all, but the bill collector will probably not be too keen on getting a big check of love when the bills are due. In the U.S. the two primary reasons for divorce are infidelity and money. Money plays a big part in the stress on a couple because at the end of the day, you've got to eat. Normally, the problem comes when the two people view money differently. One is a spender and one is a saver, that creates tension between them. Does it mean they don't love each other? No. It just means they view the finances differently, but those differing viewpoints can lead to the eventual demise of the marriage. They may still love each other, but they can't be together. If we all waited until the "perfect" time to fall in love, it would never happen. There will always be a host of reasons why we shouldn't be in love. But if we ignore the realities of life, being in love won't be enough to save us or our loved one. You're not foolish for falling in love despite the fact you're not earning money. But, you will be foolish if you think it will never matter.

We can fall in love in the simplest way, without money. If you're in a secluded place like seem to be a paradise, where the food, the water, the natural resources could suffice for a happy living maybe. With the way of life is going however, today so ovious that we need money to love or even to live. It may not be a pre requisite for love, as long as you earn while living and loving. Otherwise living with your loved one would be miserable without even little amount of money to be spent. Yes money play a role, it can modify however for you to have simple living or live to the fullest.

There are many things in life are interrelated. For instance, we need to live, and we need to fall in love. Sometimes, people are too optimistic about love without bread. But we as human beings, we have to face reality in our lives too. Sometimes, we need to balance things out. Consider it as a reality chat.

We all fall in love when we fall in love, normally we don't have anything to say about it because it just happens, but it is knowing when to pursue the relationship and when not to is what makes a smart man/woman. If you know you have no job and have no money, then you can not support your loved one and as unromantic as it sounds, love does take care of everything. You and your loved one still needs a roof over your heads, food in your stomach, clothes on your backs etc. and with no way to provide any of these things, then it is, in my opinion, not the time to pursue the relationship but rather pursue trying to get a regular job, or an education that will help you get a regular job, so that you can support a loved one. It is not only the loving and fair thing to do for the one you love but also for yourself! Good luck in all that you do! ;)

Their is no connection between love & money .. But dude thoday the time has changed ... ow Money makes the big difference.. Uou can start love without money .. but you can not contine with your love without money ... So dude ... start earning or continue to earn \nig & stay cool ...

you can love without money too, but just for a little time. The relationship will not last for a long time. Money will consolidate your relationship. You`ll need money to go out, to make gifts, to feel free to do a lot of things, that really need a lot of money . It`s hard nowadays to find girls that will not look for money. You must be careful on what type of girl you are inloved.

That is a silly saying. I think one has all the freedom to love with or without money. Money does not determine how one can love another. BUT, in marriage, one needs money. In life, one needs money, to survive and eat food. That is being 'responsible' and one needs responsiblities to take care of another. If you can completely balance this off and the one you love can understand this too, then it will be a happy relationship. Loving, relationship, surviving, marriage are all different but connected in one way. Good luck!

I understand what you are saying, and it is not foolish. Love comes from the heart and not the pocketbook. IF it came from the pocketbook, it would be materialistic and become greed. You dont need money to love, but maybe the other people meant you need money to be able to support the one you love. There is a difference!

you are a very sweet person, i can tell. yes love is not about how much money you have. if you can only love someone based on how much money they have, you don't love them for them. money can be here today and gone tomorrow. yes we all need money to live but without love, money is just money.

i don't think money have anything to do with love. love is a wonderful feeling, money are some papers. i have some friends who got married because their husbands were rich. some of the marriages didn't last. money makes people do strange and crazy things. so, love people for who they are, not for their money.
