Relationships : Is money important?

Love should come before anything first. Of course, money is an important aspect as well but being stuck in a loveless marriage with a wealthy individual can be the pits for many people. I would definitely date someone who didn't have a lot of money. Marriage is a big decision however so there are many things to factor in with the most important being love.

I guess love, friendship and happiness should always come first but practically speaking, nowadays it's really hard to be happy if you are very poor and can barely make ends meet. It would cause a lot of friction on a relationship,the love and the friendship. So I guess the key would be balance. Don't marry just for money,but at the same time don't marry solely for love, know how to find a balance between the two and between all other factors.

To maintain a relationship you money no matter what relationship it is money is important.

I definately would not marry for money, it's not worth it. I always think, if the money were gone for some reason, you lose it through whatever means, all you have left is eachother & if you only married for the money-- your relationship is gone too & I find that very sad. When I was dating the person who is my husband-- he worked for a rock crusher & made alot of money-- but, right after he got married I asked him to quit his job & go back to school & do what he has always wanted to do which is a Mortician. I didn't care if that meant we wouldn't have any money-- I just wanted him to be happy with his job & himself & not have him traveling all the time. I had a friend that based her likeness of guys on the money & I told her it wasn't going to matter in the long run. I just think that people who marry for money are missing out on so much more of the relationship, like the love & trust, honesty, just having someone you can completely rely on all the time. But, hey-- if you love the person & they have money then your in a really good place!!

I was sleeping I was dreming of you I was on bed I was dreaming of u Getting off the bed dreaming of u I was on lane Thinking of u M in office Staring at u I was in food court searching for you Back on way thinking of u There occured an accident I was lyin on road Still thinking of u Well all i wanna say money is nothing in comparison to realtionships , Infact both can;t even be compare . And those who compare I m sorry to say but they are not worth of either . Such lines (like ones I wrote above ) can only be written in memory of a person and if any1 can write these for money .. well .. can't say anything ..

I prefer to have relationship with someone who is reliable and have a job. I was fooled before and luckily I could get the money back. It's not about being a gold digger, but about knowing that he knows his responsibility as a man that will be the head of the family (if we ever get that serious). Working man also understands working woman's schedule, that's what I like in my husband because we both need to work and save money for the future too. If it's only one night stand I don't really care about it, but in general I am alwasy serious in my relationships.

Just my opinion. Yes, it is very important, without money one can't live. Without a decent living it is very difficult to keep an stable relationship. I am not talking about a lot of money, just enough to have a decent living, not that I am against it (a lot of money).

i too believe in love in any relationship. my wife and i waited till i was earning enough so that we could start a family before we tied the knot. but we definitely didnt look for the bank balance we each had or didnt have.

i will never want to that person who has a money or money less. i will go with that person who has loveable heart. who is not flurting.

I find that money is not important in the end. I would not marry a bum who was just too lazy to work but money is not a factor when it comes to marriage. No I would not date someone just because he had money. If I was not interested in spending the rest of my life with him, I would not go out with him. No matter how much money he had.

I agree with you. Your relationship shouldn't just revolve on money. Of course we need money in order to survive but our basis for love & relationship shouldn't just be purely on money

lol, nice. im not trying to be rude, (I promise) but you cant eat love, friendship, and happiness. stability is the key for a lot of people today, most relationships wont survive w/ one person pulling the load then coming home to a house full of friendship. again not being rude jus the way i feel.

If there is no Love, run ! Find Love first !

Actually I have experienced being invited to go out on a date for the first time by a guy and I paid everything!(I am aware of that because I know he does not have money that time) Imagine that! I didn't mind at all maybe because of the friendship & feeling of happiness being with him. The 2nd time he asked me out, I paid again... That made me think already. I know I have special feelings for him but wait a minute. Is this a guy I want to get serious with? He can't (or don't) even buy me a soda... I know he has financial problems that time but I believe that he should be prepared when asking someone on a date... Money is not everything, I agree but you can't live also by saying I LOVE YOU everyday!

i think that people that date/marry for money are very shallow people, money will never buy true love !

Money is not everything but it plays a big factor in a relationship specially when you are married. Need to pay this and that. Need to buy baby's milk and diapers. Sometimes it is the cause of argument between the couple if they don't have money at all. On the other hand, even if you have a lot of money and there is no love to each other your money is useless too, because money cannot buy happiness. So, i think it should be balance. Even there is no much money as long as it is enough for the need of the family and there is love that bonds the home, there is harmony. It's my opinion.

In your question you are mentioned about marrying someone that didnn't have any money,I don't think so.It is true that money is not everything, if you don't have any money how are you going to survive?At least he/she should have a job.The problem will occur in a relationship because you don't have the money to support the most basic need.

Love is blind and love is also a pain that no doctor can explain. I tend to fall in love not by looks or money but rather with those who are pure of heart because I know that people who are pure of heart and nature stand by you in your darkest hour, where as those that marry for money and looks get abandoned before they know it. I haven't been married yet but I have been into many relationships and that is what life has taught me.

Just be practical. Now a days we cannot live without Money, how can we survive without money in our pocket? there are some factors we need up too, like love, friendship, and happiness, but MOney matter is always stick with these factors, i have observed through this years, the first thing that a married couple quit its because of lacking money..even they are equipped with love and happiness still they argue with financial matter...as they say "u cannot live with bread alone"

yes.. its much important......once u think a day in ur life
