RELATIONSHIP vs. MONEY

What is the most important ingredient in a relationship?
The answer is very simple, LOVE.
However, can a relationship last without MONEY?
I doubted so.

There are various types of relationships, family, friends, lovers... etc. On the facts, I'm pin-pointing on lovers-kind-of-relationship.

To make myself clear, I do not mean that everyone needs to be a billionaire in order to survive in a relationship. What I meant was, to have enough money to satisfy the needs in our relationship.

What are the needs in a relationship? Food, gifts, pampering treatment (e.g. SPA), travel, anniversaries, birthdays, celebrations... We splurge on all these things when we are in a relationship, and all these can only be achieved using money. When we are madly in love, sometimes we immune ourselves from all these ugly-realities, realities that tell us, WE NEED MONEY! It's to even mention about this. By mentioning about money with your husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, it is not only ir-romantic, moreover, by doing so, you might probably ruin your relationship. Therefore, communication is very important. Couples must learn to communicate wisely with each other.

Money is a very sensitive issue in a relationship. Most of the people work extremely hard merely to satisfy their partners' urges to splurge & spend. However, my point here is not about having a luxury lifestyle, it is merely about an equivalent amount of money which is able to run the relationship.

Work hard, for yourself as well as for your beloved ones.
