Does money really a matter in love? I have heard too much that real love have no matter with money. They can still in love even they didn't have money, they can work together to earn. But still, there's also many case that the girl drop the man, and couple with another man with more money, while she still said money aren't matter for love in one month ago. To you, does money matter in love?

I have to say no, but i do think it helps you has a couple. If you are not struggling for money and constantly worried about how your gunna pay your bills, then in my opinion, as a couple you will be happier, but i dont think you can fall in love with someone who is rich, just because they have money.

A lot of people say that money and love are two different things and that love matters more than money or the other way around. I dont believe in either ways. I believe that put together it makes a good relationship. I saw a lot of couples divorced one after the other because they dont discuss each others financial difficulties. I guess its true what they said that if money goes out of the door love will eventually go out through the window.

If lovers think that money matters, then they are not truly in love. When twp oeple are in love they are in love with eachother regardless of the other's financial situation, or their own.

I absolutely agree with danishcanadian. If money matters, they are not in love.

Money is important. But it shall not involve to love. If the love is based on the money, then I am afraid this kind of love can't last for a long time. Money can be earned by hard working. I love China

Money should not matter in love. I was in a relationship and it was strained because we didn't have money, but I know that my feelings never changed for him because we had no money. I never looked for anyone else, in fact I had two children with him. Money could never change my love for a man. Money is something you spend, but a kiss from the one you love is something that cannot be held, or spent. I'll forget about the money that I spent yesterday, but I will never forget that kiss.

It depends on the situation, otherwise Love does not need any money at all. But on the other hand if your love will get changed into the Relationship then money matters there as you will have to think of your family thereafter, for your wife/husband especially husbands have to. Though money will endup but not your love for each other. If you loose your love (God Forbid) that will not come back, however if your love will be forever then money doesn't matter at all and you will overcome the money problem at any time being together and fight for that.

Does money matter in love? A BIG YES to that! Seriously, without money you cannot enjoy your love life to the fullest especially when it comes to family matter-after you get married to each other. Think about it. With the ever increasing price of food stuffs, fuel etc? Somemore someone has to pay the bills-cars, home, study fees etc etc. And that is why MOST people looking to make that extra money online besides their fixed income, am I not correct here? And MOST of them have family to feed. And have dreams to live without worrying about how to settle the bills next month. Old myth that says, if you really love someone money does not matter cannot be used anymore. Maybe back then yes when all things were cheap, where lands were plenty and the price of houses and cars were not as high as these modern day. But not now, not in the future. So I suggest to all out there especially the teens, think not just twice but many times before you commit yourself in a relationship. Just an opinio ya. Peace.

I know it should not but face it it takes money to buy food, to pay rent and utilities and gas for a car. yes money has to matter to some degree in love as you cannot pay your bills with love lol. love should come first but people in love still have to eat and have to sleep some place so yes they have to think about money too.

money doesn't really matter in love, and it shouldn't be. but if the lovers will going to stay together, let say they wanted to get married and build their own family, money can't be taken for granted.

I said it before and I'll say it again, I would rather live in a cardboard box with someone I love than in a mansion with someone I didn't love.

It is clear that if two people are in love, they just care to each other's feeling, they share their happiness,and there are full of beautiful dreams. So, for most of people, monay does't matter much in love. but when it comes to marriage, some practical thins came to your life, and most of them need your money. and then, money do matter a lot. Generally speaking, when we young guys choose boyfriend/girfriend, do not pay attention to whether he or she has much money, just care about his/her personality and ability, for example, he/she should be responsible, should be warmhearted, ans do on.withe those good quality, money wpn't be a problem in the future.

Money always matters to some degree. Unfortunately, we all need money to survive, so it is definitely an issue. One of the top things couples argue about in their first few years of marriage is their finances, so it makes sense that having more money helps a relationship to be more successful and less stressed. On the other hand, there is no substitute for real love, and all the money in the world cannot make you love someone. I have known many women that have given up on real love in order to be with someone who has more money, but money cannot buy happiness. I think it is better to just work together to try to make your lives better as a team.

Well for me its the other way around. Money does not matter without love. you can have all the money in the world but wihtout love you money has no values at all. you can buy anything but love. Anything you thought you have bought love is mistaken at all because you will never feel the true meaning of love when you think you have it with you.

of course.. money can ruin friendship, family, makes war, murder, and more. why not love? money is important in human daily life but not the most important.

Yes it does matter. Not in the way you might think but it matters. Where one partner has signficantly more than the other there frequently a "power" issue within the relationship. This isn't always the case, nevertheless it can happen. Then there is the issue of where both partners are struggling. Money issues are one of the greatest stressors for relationships. One of the key reasons for divorce is money.

I think money is matter in love. We have life to live on which means we need to pay for our house, our food, our clothes and etc. So, if without money, how can we fill ourself. But I agree that money is not powerful than love. Even though the couple might be poor, they still have can strong love for each other. But make sure that the couples take up their responsibility for this relationship.

In my own experience money doesn't matter in love. Just like my boyfriend and I. He is poor and i am rich. We are 5 years now. At first my family object in our relationship because the guys is poor. but they have no choice because i love the guy. we will just work hard to earn money for our future. If you find true love... love is the only thing that matters.

When I met then eventually married, we started out with about the bare necessities. Altho we did struggle and at times argued we stuck it out because the good times far outweighed the bad. It was hard money was tight, but we leaned on each other. The money was an issue, but we had each other, and that alone was far more important, it got us through. so, Money is nice, it helps, but it should not be the center of any relationship...As it turns out, I wouldn't have changed anything, it was all worth it!!!!!
