no two couple would live in love alone.money would always be a big issue,am i right or am i right? though both of you are so much happy together and so much in love,one day you would hear the phrase: "when will i get rich and have mansion?" "i wish i could buy Prada" "i wanted those jewelries" "i want to have a brand new car" and worst,if your partner would say: "if my ex-boyfriend married me years ago,i should have been living a comfortable life"...

I partly believe that money is important in a relationship but I also believe that LOVE is most important. We must also admit that a couple could not really be happy on money alone, love must still be present. Well, I am a hopeless romantic and I would like to believe that Love can really conquer all. I think that if you really love each other and you know each other well. You should have foreseen what will life be together. So if you reach a conclusion that money will be most important to your partner and you think that there is no way for you to satisfy that--then I think you should have the guts to call it quits. Now, when a couple have the same view that money will make their world go round without love, then lucky are they...for they will surely be together as long as they have money.:-)

I agree with you that we cannot live on love alone. Personally, I know that even though I love my boyfriend, I would not be totally happy when we get married if we would always be low on cash. We could not eat love and we could not feed our love to our kids. We cannot enroll our kids paying love, right? So money is still very important in marriage and in raising a family. But I also would not get married just because of money. I should love the guy and he should be responsible enough to provide for our needs. I would help him , of course.

Not a chance!!! My boyfriend and I have enough money to live on, and that's all we want!! We don't care about designer clothes, and jewerllery, and his truck runs just fine. We don't care about our exes either. We know we are better off with eachother, and that's all that matters to us. The rest of the world can go chase itsself!

Money is an issue yes, but it is not an issue that can conquer love, because if someone truly loves, then they would want to provide for their loved one, to give them the best they can offer and I am not talking about Prada or jewelry but the things that people need for daily life: food, clothing, shelter...these are the things that everyone needs and their lack will cause friction. But the truth is that people who make the decision to love, will find a way to conquer all obstacles in their way, because love is their motivation and inspiration. And I know that sounds a bit idealistic, but it is not unrealistic. Love is not about riches or mansions, one can live in a shack and be happy as long as one has the basic requirements for life. Being imperfect humans of course, will be our greatest obstacle to true joy and happiness, because we sometimes forget what's really important.

Love is still the most important thing in my life. But sad to say money does count, I am not talking a lot of money but it a nessesity of life. I think the most trouble or arguments that come up in a relationship is due to money. We cannot live on love . Love is great and I also believe that having a lot of money could cause problems too. For me I have love and we are lets say comfortable as far as finances go so we do not have a lot of problems.
