If you aint financially "stable", Stable here means you have a job, house, mobility... why fall in Love?, your conscience should "prick" you especially with the type of economy we live in atm.

Love should be the foundation of any relationship,but let's be sincere financial stability is also very important. You must not be a billionaire but your family should be able to have the basic necessities of life.

★★PRINCE CHARMING™★★ said...

Both love and money play vital roles. Love should be the foundation of marriage, but financial stability is paramount too! I bet you that there is no way you can grow more in love with a man who is not providing your needs, and privation can lead to a lot of unthinkable things in marriage.

Love is d most important. Sometimes couples may be financially stable but find it difficult 2 weather storms. If there is love they can manage their financial instability till they re ok

FINANCIAL STABILITY, it will give d man his well desired respect nd will make d love grow, they knw dey chop love

Both! They both work hand in hand. They can't do without each other. If there is no money (not necessarily millions) it shakes d foundation built on love, before u know it d marriage crumbles. If d money is there n no love, that one too Na wahala.

Financial stability is very important and with it,love can grow and be nurtured unlike love without money which is the bedrock rock of frustration in marriage,hatred and accusations. Pls,If u have tried love without money,u will never want it

Love First

Unknown said...

@ linda

what is needed most in a relationship or marriage first is LOYALTY.
Loyalty goes far beyond trust. Someone that is loyal is ready to do anything.
Loves still have a place in relationship. You can love someone but might not be loyal to the person.

Well all are important , but love should be first not just for the individual u intend to marry but for God, cos there will be times u wont even remember the love u have for the fellow, but if u have real love of God in ur hear then things will work out, money is important but sometimes there could be financial crises, if there was no love initially then trouble begins. Meanwhile i would really want u to do a post on religion if it matters , cos i really love this guy who attends a different church ,i dont mind cos i belive we were all created by the same God,but my parents disgree, they believe that anyone who isnt frm my church is not serving God, i m really frustrated, i m even considering singleness for life.thanks.

LINDA! It's money that fans the ember of love. Some people wouldn't tow this line but the bitter truth is, there is no love without money. No woman wants to suffer in the name of love. Maybe our parents have been a victim of love in the past but thing has metamorphosed this 21st century. God help us.

I'm not the type that would place one above the other. Then again, when there's financial stability there's usually
a "form" of love attached to it. Saying basically that financial stability brings a form of love. But does love bring financial ability???

¶ think Love is the most important. Bcos even if there's money,¶ can't guarantee a happy marriage. Only poor minded people will choose money over love. Cos at a point ,a woman will realise its not money she needs. She needs affection,care, satisfaction etc. And also ¶ chose love bcos, a man who loves his wife can't let her lack, he'll try †o hustle for her. And there's no way a hard working man will end up poor. - ASTRO™

Its financial stability ooo. I'm talking from experience. Once u can make ur wife and kids comfortable to her own taste, then ur marriage will last forever. Wettin be love. Can anybody tell y a fresh babe will marry a man older than her father? Its not love, her needs just have to be met.

Like d saying money for hand bck for ground in another context oooo pls not sex

From my own opinion, I will say above all things it is the fear of God as it is the beginning of wisdom but since it is between love and financial stability, i will say it's love because it conquers all things. Someone financially bouyant today can be financially handicap tomorrow whereas, agape love is an everlasting one.

how about money without love nko? i will always go for love anytime anyday. if you have all d money in d world and u keep divorcing cos theres no love, you will feel so frustrated. But if i have love, money will surely come cos we will encourage each other and be there for each other.

There's nothing called love in marriage without financial stability, resposibility taken care of brings love. Love without money has no backbone and graduates to bitterness as it's exposed to more danger than security. Chimosky

I chose love wen I met my hubby over financial stability with anoda guy. Money later came and left but we are still waxing strong in love by God's grace. Its still like we just got married after 2 chilren, so I always advise for love and not wealth. Gives me peace don't know about every other lady. I pray money comes again cos we enjoyed and my man pampered me so much I felt like a baby.

Linda pls choose love over financial stability bcos I know its your set time, it will give you an inner peace and may God grant you a loving husband in Jesus name. Amen

love will keep both couples together thereby making them see reasons why they need to work together in other for them to be financially balance. love is the most important thing in marriage, the money might be there but when there is no love one party will always cheat cuz their heart is somewhere else.
