Love and Money

In my opinion, I think that money definitely has its importance in the sustainability of relationship between couples. In this modern world, money has became an essential need to our survival. The world now is very realistic, nowadays more and more couples value money more than relationship. Due to the temptation of money that lead people succumb to it, the sanctity of love gradually vanish over time. Now, love is just a figure, a vague expression towards love ones. Money has literally overtook love, if love is to compare to money, it’s no doubt money will be the first and love comes second. Thus, there’s indeed an upward trend of relationships and marriages valuing money over qualities of love partner. However, I believe pure love shows a greater significance in relationships, as love signifies tolerance, understanding, and attachment between love couples. Money is a medium of exchange which satisfies the materialistic needs of people, while love is a desire for somebody, to actually emotionally want the person be with you, spent the rest of the life with he/she. Money is just a short term satisfaction that gives people a luxurious life, it cannot determine the strength of relationships. Imagine he/she loves the other gender just because of money, how will their relationship sustain? Obviously, when he/she get what he intend to get in the first place, he/she will leave his/her partner as the relationship is based on money not love. However, if love involve in a relationship, the couple will be emotionally attached, they will learn to tolerate and trust each other. The relationship will be in its purest form, as the couple truly love each other with no any dark intentions or aspirations. Hence, love is more important than money, the sustainability of relationship will be higher if true love is what matters.

As I mention above, money is rather important in a relationship. In this society where people work and work to earn money, it clearly indicates how money becomes the priority in life. It also displays the role of money as the highest authority. I sincerely believe that without money, the relationship will not sustain well or even formed. The relationship will be a harsh one, the low financial status of couple may lead to further conflicts. They will have arguments over money as money linked up the basic needs of humans. Without money to support these needs, the survival of a person is not ensured, moreover the sustainability of relationships. These actually contributed to the upward trend of relationships valuing money over other qualities. People start to think materialistically and consider the important element of money that will figuratively fulfil the needs of them. With the possession of money, their financial worries will be minimized. This eventually affect the relationship between people, due to the materialistic mind of people, they will judge their feelings based on other’s financial status. They will actually succumb to it and pretend they love each other. The qualities of partner will not be considered anymore as they think those substances show no importance in their life. More and more people get into relationship for the sake of money rather than the sake of loving each other. A lot of life examples actually support these facts such as the recent case of two celebrities who are TingFeng and Cecilia Chung. Their marriage manage to last for a short period only, and they soon divorce. Why is it that? Is it the lost of genuine in love? In conclusion, love is not sincere anymore, the source of attraction is money not the qualities of their partners behold. Hence, there is no doubt the trend has changed from people value love over money into people value money over love.
