some people say money first then love later...others say love me as i am and we shall build our empire together.In some instances in life when a couple fall in love because of the millions they make,and turn out broke at some point in their relationship,both start raising doubts about each other,then later breakup....so now i pause the question,is money an important necessity in a relationship?

I think if you find love before you have money thats a good idea. But, if you dont find love right away dont hold yourself away from an earning just to wait and find love. I think love is more important then the money you make when, you meet someone you should not be asking about the money they make until you are farther in the relationship, you shouldnt stay with someone you dont like just because, they have alot of money.

I agree with you too. We find love before finding money. We need money for living but money can't buy love...but being in love together will make us have more motivation to earn more money...

good day curtisokemo, frankly speaking, in the relationship that i have now, i will definitely say, money is very important for the two of us. most often times, we end up having a small argument because my partner wants to earn more since a big budget is needed at their side. same thing on my, since i have done a career redirection over a year ago, so i need a big amount of money to fill in some needs which my mom always deals with me. thus these are the reasons behind why i have said that money is on top of our relationship and in every decision we need to make.

We need both money and love... When we have money, it is good because we can buy gifts/ flowers for lover whenever we want...but if we don't have much money, love won't die because of it, we will have many ways to express our love to lover...as long as both are happy with it. If one just love money more than the others...then the relationship is broken also

There is a saying that I heard in a game that says "Balance in all things". I don't deny that money is important since it primarily gives us everything we need, and of course we need love to have determination or inspiration to our daily routine in order to project money. So just balancing everything will help in order to avoid the possible worst case scenario.

in my opinion.....yes money is difinately important but not more then love...because you live happy with less money in your life but not without love in your life you cant buy love with that money....i wont say that money wont buy you happiness..it will definaltely..but it wont last without love in your life...yes thier could be some problem at times in your love life if you dont have much money...but the toghetherness of you two will always encourage you to do more and face every difficulty of your life.....so for me love is always more important the money.......and yes if you have LOVE + MONEY = BEAUTIFUL LIFE......:D

hai it's not bad when you love money and know how to save for the future,and it will not destroy all plans when money used in a proper way,,money can buy anything but can't buy true happiness..LOVE, if you truly in love you can conquer everything, impossible things make possible,if you're wrapped with love to your love ones, helping hand will prevail forever,, But when it comes in relationship,yes money is important in a relationship,it is used for the daily basic needs,specially if there's kids involved, but of course LOVE is the priority,we are created by GOD's love,so when LOVE comes first in every step all things make easily and simple to afford.Money and Love work together, and using them in a proper way you will succeed in life happily... have a nice day

money is important, but not the most important in relationship. it may be essential to be able to enjoy the companionship and build memories between the couple, but it is not a defining element of the relationship. i heard stories that the cause of break-up is either lack or excess of money. thus, money per se is not really the problem of break-up.

Yes money is important. I haven't thought that for years but I learned from the past and also now. Without money your relationship will always know hard times. A daily struggle for money will kill any feeling of love, tenderness in the end. Love will not survive everything. It's a burden if you are not able to take (financial) care of your partner or family, if you always have to say NO we can't afford this. If you go to bed hungry or have to count whole nights how to manage next day. If there is no future ... You can't just live from (the idea to be) love(d). That is just an illusion.
