In your opinion, is money important in a relationship? Consider the 'transactional' element observed in the relationships between the couples. Do you think there is an upward trend of relationships and marriages valuing money over other qualities? Provide examples for your responses.
I believe this question really depends on one perspective. In my opinion, when I look for a partner, I do not put money as a main priority but I cannot deny that without money, a relationship has a high change of not working out. For me, in order for me to let a relationship work out, I do need the basic amount of money to sustain the basic needs of life.
I feel that there is no upward trend of relationships and marriages valuing money over other qualities. For a relationship to work out, it is essential not to cross either borders and end up valuing one side over the other. Prevalent in our society, teen relationships hold love above anything else, otherwise known as infatuation. There is no denying that there are teen couples having relationships even without having the substantial amount of money needed to sustain the relationship well. Pertinent to that, it is a fact that as a marriage grows older, couples do tend to value money over love and other qualities mainly because the initial infatuation has faded away and inevitably, reality comes crashing in.
I agree that this question is rather sensitive and subjective to different people's stand to answer this question. I also agree that money is not a key factor of a relationship but we cannot deny the fact that without money, there would be no future to this relationship
ReplyDeleteI agree to your viewpoint that money is not extremely important when having a relationship. However, people might think that it is really important, as they would then lead a better life with more money. But with a nasty and rude partner, you will not be able to live a happy life.
ReplyDeleteFor your point on "relationship to work out, it is essential not to cross any borders", I completely disagree. By being in a relationship, you must allow your partner to cross your border. You have to build up tolerance between one another. If you are in a relationship, and all you say is, " Don't touch this, dont touch that, dont do that" etc. , te relationship will never work out. Howvere, i do agree that te reason money is important is due to reality.
ReplyDeleteYeah i agree too that money is important as without money, raising children would be a tough thing to do and might even strain the relationship. I do not agree fully about the statement that as we grow older we tend to value money. This depends on how rich you are actually. Like a rich person would be less likely to seek rich partners as they themselves are self sufficient in terms of finance, and it also depends if the people who are less wealthy are hardworking people who wants to earn their living and work their way up or wants to take short cuts. However yes i think money still plays a part though
