Does money make any difference in your love life?

When you are in love you don't care for anything else. You feel that your life is perfect. When you got a lover who loves you so much then you starts to think you don't need anything else except him or her. But sometimes you want to hang out more, want gifts, surprises, want a special treat that need money. Suppose your lover can not afford those. That makes you sad and unhappy. In that situation what should you do? You leave him/her? You quarrel with him/her? You simply support him/her?

Well money itself no, but it's lack are a stress motif that can affect the love life as instead of thinking of love and love making, we can end up thinking from time to time at money and more exactly money problems.

Love is sweet the first few weeks, and months. the issues or indifference usually comes in after those months that you are getting to know each other and that you only see the good things and the good side about your partner. especially if you and your partner are putting your best foot forward. I'd say having money can and will help make the relationship grow too, after all you need money so you could spend time with each other; go on holidays, go on dates, watch movies, and eat out on restaurants. so that meant you gotta have the dough to spend at least. =)

Well while i was content and blindly inlove my ex partner was ripping me off in everyway he could, which is damaging not only to your financial situation but confidence and self esteem or ego. I think everyone like to treat people with gifts and surprises... and if your in a trusting relationship make sure your trusting the right people and dont take the chance with money. If it is true love then it shouldn't cost you thousands of dollars to keep your true love around. They will want to be with you because they enjoy spending time with you.

Hi tithiakberkhan, Money is something required for life, but it is part of life. Love is the entire life. Money cannot stop love. Gifts and surprises doesnot end a true love. You can still gift a moneyless priceless love to her/him and loves gones on by that way!

In my opinion, a relationship to money is what most of us need to handle. Some people would be devastated if they were poor, yet others are quite happy to get along with little money. In my opinion as a counsellor and therapist, it is what you feel about money that makes a difference in all relationships. Be content with what you have or have not, and your relationship to your partner will be a different matter altogether. Yes, you can be happy with each other if you are broke or if you are very rich, depending on how you view your life. _Derek

I think there is an effect of money versus love. Because most the women's today will love money more than what real love is implore... But the risk about this things will be the lost control of the relationship and ended immediately when there is no money in the pocket of the men...

Moneys mean a lot to love. With money, a love life will be enhanced, more colorful, more interesting, more happier and so on. This is the fact in our life. For Chinese, a conservative couple will not easily divorce because of money. This is the culture of Chinese in their commitment to the marriage. Without sufficient money, a family couldn't survive at all. If a family can not survive, of course the life will be very difficult, tough and unhappy. Love is one thing. Financial support for our living is another matter too. We need both the love and money to live happily.

I would like to believe that it money won't matter, however, I am realistic enough to know that it does matter. Couples cannot live on love alone. You would need to support each other and send children to school, and if these basic needs cannot be met, the couple would fight or disagree on things which in the long run will take its toll on the relationship.

Money can't buy happiness but it does make a difference not just in your love life but also in your life. We can just be happy with what we have,we can be satisfied but of course, it's better to get what we want and what we desire for. In love,receiving gifts and surprises adds spice to a particular relationship.Material things can be obtained, so I think it would be better if you talk about the things you want and you don't want in order for you to know what you can give and you can't give.

no,I dnt believe that.If you truly love someone and want to be with them no matter what, then money shouldn't matter. Money is a luxury, grant it its nice to be able to have the money to buy gifts or even go out on the town. But you don't have to have money to show the one you love that you love them. yes, my husband and I have fought over money,but I would never leave him. I want to be happy,even if it means not having alot of money.

For me when I am in love I think of nothing but my love, and I would do anything for him. Sometimes I do want nice surprises, but its not the money that matters to me if he doesnt have the money and did something special for me like make me dinner give me a body massage or something special like that. For me I think its important to support the person you with and if you both work hard the money will come.

To put it short... If you have no money it's harder to find love but when you find love it's genuine. When you have a lot of money love is easier to find but genuine love is harder to find

I have been in a relationship once before but we didn't have such problems so I don't know what I'd do. But with friends it does happen sometimes, not because of money but because of time. We all wanna hang out but some of my friends have their part time jobs so every time we're out, atleast one of my friends are missing. It really doesn't feel good without even one of them.

I think if the person I was with couldn't afford special treats then it wouldn't matter. I'd know that the whole time I was with him, so I'm sure it wouldn't come as a schock, and I wouldn't be with someone just to get special treats. They're extras and would be nice if I was with someone who could afford them, but it's the love that they give you that matters... not how much money they had. I certainly would never leave them.

Are you saying that in a bad way? There are lots of functions where money is a technological boost to love-life . - my opinion (You have to decide whether it is love or money you want more due to indecisive thinking , you leave her =money is the difference/ you quarrel her= money is the difference/ you support her =money is not the difference and are equal in value ) I would support her if I needed to find out how much difference money can make with her around....

To put it short...I'm not saying its easy to find love when your broke but it's harder BUT when you do find love you'll know it's genuine for the reason he/she loves you for you On the OTHER hand... If your rich, yes it would be easier to find love but it would be harder to tell if it's real love or love for you money

If both people can support themselves and one doesn't need to support the other, it shouldn't be an issue. As long is there is not resentment for one person using the others money, money does not have to be a factor. Affection can be shown in other ways. It really is 'the thought that counts'. It's easy to call up a dinner reservation. It's so much more romantic to plan a (completely free) picnic at a park that a girl may have once mentioned was her childhood favorite.
