no, i don't. i don't think money as anything to do w/a having a honey or it shouldn't. there are nice guys out there whether they have money or not. as long as they are hard workking , honest & sincere money does not make you happy.

But what it means is if the man doesn't have money, how to support the family, how to at least feed the members in the family.
I'm sure there are lots of people out there like they will still stick with each other whether he has money or no.

i commented that he had to be hard working. i think that as long as he is , he will be able to support the family w/your help. i thought u were talking like he had to be a millionaire or something like that.

Absolutely no!! That would happen in false relationships built on material foundations. But deep, abiding love would find ways to enjoy each other even when there is no money.
And the memory of enduring tough times together is part of what makes some relationships strong.

Its a sayng to the guys I think.Its always better to have money before finding your honey.If at all your honey agrees without the money there might be a day when your honey might run to a person with the money.
But a real honey never thinks of the money.The real honey will also try to earn the money.But its a rarity .
SO HAVE MONEY , GET HONEY.

I think it depends on what the "honey's" situation is. Lately there has been so many lay-offs that it's not always their fault.
My husband now earning the best he can was not employed when I met him just because of the circumstances in his life at the time.
He's a hard-working man with a very strong work effort.

I do agree.
If you are a man, no matter what women or anyone else tells you--the rules have changed, etc., in order for a woman to remain interested in you physically--I speak of long term relationships here--there must be stability on the part of a man.
The men are the tone-setters for the household. They must be able to have the lady's back. Anyone who is depending on his wife's next check is no man. There is something radically wrong when the woman must provide for, protect, and essentially raise the man. The man must have his act together. He must be able to tell her exactly that the rent is going to be paid this month.
For I believe that in the end, God holds us as men responsible for these things.
Even if a woman works, if the little kidlets start coming, it's going to get to a point where the Mrs. can no longer work. She has to be able to trust that that husband is going to be able to pull it off, not only this month, but the next month as well.
Want to know what a real man is? A man who is self-sufficient, and has a JOB that can pay the rent and the bills!
No money, no honey means, don't date a man who doesn't have a job, can't keep a job, or is always looking for a job, but never seeming to land one. It also goes without saying don't date a man who isn't even looking for employment.
Money does make the world go round.
As a Christian, I do believe that God, Who ultimately controls all resources (guess what: He owns them!!)--will provide for His servants. But He is not going to come down here and play Mama to a guy who is not putting forth no effort to provide for himself or his own.
God is nobody's mother. He is a FATHER. He will help us, but in turn, like most our human fathers demanded, we must help ourselves--or at least try to--as well.

I appreciate your explanation! My mom has told me something simular too that if the man is not self-sufficient, he better not go find a honey.
Thanks for your sharing!
