When poverty strikes, love flies off the window

Have you ever experienced in life the truth of the saying: "When poverty strikes, love flies off the window? Have you proven this to be true or not? In my case, I can say that I have proven that when poverty strikes, true love comes to the fore. Yes, my hubby and I started poor, we still are not that rich in terms of monetary gains, but we choose to meet the occurrence as a challenge to prove our love for each other. By the way, we're rich in terms of happiness, and that's what counts. Richness does not only come from monetary rewards. Instead of blaming one another because of our lack of money, we worked hard and tried to get by encouraging each other and saying that as long as we had each other by our sides, we would triumph with whatever life will hand us. We stayed united and happy because nothing else matters except that we were holding hands, giving each other the much-needed support to survive. We were happy no matter what the circumstances were because we were together. We had viewed the trials and financial difficulties we had as challenges and learning processes to strengthen our bond, and had embraced them happily, looking at the brighter side of events. There are always lessons to be learned. And we indeed survived with flying colors. We're now stable with all of our kids becoming professionals and presently working successfully in their respective fields. Hence, I have disproved the aforementioned quote. Instead, I believe that it should be the opposite: "when poverty strikes, true love comes to the fore!" What about you Have you had similar experiences like this?
