Do you think a relationship would work without the luxury of money? Even if a person has all the good qualities of a gentleman like kindness, sincerity, honesty, hardworking and not lazy, etc. just like the usual ideal guy that some women wish to have but he doesn't have the luxury of money money. Would you consider this guy to be your partner for the rest of your life? or you won't give a second thought of considering him to be your partner? What do you think about this? Do you think it's all about the money or its always been about love? Thanks for sharing guys.

Yes! Money is not everything in this world. I've seen so many moneyed couples who ended up in divorce while there are those who have less and yet have lived happily through the years. I've seen lots of women who married men who are not moneyed at all but by God's grace they lived blissfully. So it's not really all about the money but it is how they are committed with each other.

Yes, a relationship will still work even if there is no luxury of money, but it will be the culprit in a relationship. Couples who are not wealthy enough makes money as a reason for their fight. I do believe that it is not always about the money nor love, It should be on how you are willing to commit in a relationship despite of all the trials.

It's not all about money but it's not all about love. Like in all other things in this life, it's all about balance. Of course some people want money more than anything else but they can't ignore other qualities forever, even if you have all the money in the world, you will eventually be frustrated by the lack of socializing, closeness, likeness. Some people on the other hand can put qualities above money, but money can't be totally ignored, because eventually there comes frustration or animosity from lack of it. So the key is to find balance. Balance is not necessarily middled between the two. It's also about each person wants more. It's a balance between what you want and what you have. That's happiness really. Covering what you want with what you have. But the key is in wanting no more or less then you can have and trying to have no more or less than you want. Because when those limits are highly crossed frustration appears.

I think for me the guy and his personality is more important. Money to me isn't everything. And a person who is only concerned about money that could cause problems in a relationship. So If I were with a person who only worked to gain money his focus could be solely about that and not about other more important things.

i dont think that a relationship should be just consider by money. for me, if i love some one, i wont count on whether does he is rich or whether can he give me a luxury life or not. i will choose those i really love, but not how rich is he. money is important, but money is not everything. if we want money, we can work and get it, earn it, but not expect the half from us to fulfill us. so i think love is more important than luxury life.

I think that, as long as there's love, then that's really the important thing for me. Sure, some women do like that extra security, which money can help provide, but love really is the important thing for me. If there's love, you can make it work.

Nowadays, it seems that money plays a very important role in life. Without it, you can not gain friendship. It's always easy to have more friends when we are loaded. they come to us without being invited. When you begin to be poor, you notice that they will also begin to move out of your surrounding.

Love with money involve is not successful because this love is not pure and truthful. Two person can be in that relationship because the other have money... Better to love without money involve so that love will be as pure as gold. Even do money is important to man...this will must be out of the relationship to protect the love that is pure and truthful... How if the person lost all his money. Do we expect the girl still love the man? I think it's not because the lady love only a luxury life and never love the guy with his own personality...

good day cyclopz, in a practical point of view, it would be better to have a relationship if both men and women is stable in terms of finances. as in this way, they can have their marriage without encountering monetary problem. however, with that one you have posted, it seems like the other partner does not have the amount of money although he has the good qualities of being a gentlemen. well, in this instance, if i will be put on this situation, i will still look further on the guy's attitude, aside from the good qualities of being a gentleman, i would love to check if he is diligent enough to do his best so that he can also earn for our family living then.

I think if a person pays much attention to money, he will have not true friends. Because the focus of his work and life is hust money ,money and money.i will get away from him.And i think if the person is kind,sincere ,honest,hard-working and dilligent he will not pay so much attention on money.

Hello Cyclopz, No money and all things should be balanced.One cannot marry a man having all ideal things but no money and also with a man with money but no qualities.Sometimes girls who marry just a man with money do repent for it in future i have seen it.

I don't think so. At least one person needs to have money. In all my relationships I was the one paying for every bill and if we went out, each holiday and the kids. My husband/bf only payed for himself all his luxury stuff. My present husband is poor. I am not rich but still the very less money I have is worth a lot more in his country. He says it's not about the money he wanted to marry me but fact is his life is way easier with me and even he has hard days if I am not there he does get extra things he would never had if i wasn't there.

Some women want money and luxury life and do not care about the character and the morality of their partners but other do care. I personally do not care about the money and see the personality of my partner.Besides when someone is lazy and not hardworking he will eventually lose all of his money and i have seen this happenning.

love is about others, money is about self. I think a relationship can work without money. It is easier if there is money, but you really have to look beyond money to the quality of the person.

It is the jingle of money all the way. In modern times most relations are bound on the basis of money and wealth. Most people run amuck after money in abundance.

Sometimes girls looks for security. But if in the middle of getting to know the guy or in the middle of the relationship with the guy, we found out that the guy isn't stable yet or cannot provide us luxuries (or at least the simplest luxuries in life) then we won't care about it anymore. We accept the guy for what he is, love him genuinely and will work together to afford the luxuries in the future.
