VITAL INGREDIENTS IN CHOOSING A PARTNER

Even King Solomon in all his wisdom said money answers all things but then James said that love covers a multitude of sins. Based on these two statements made by two different people and also based on my personal life experiences, I'd say the importance of love and money in any relationship can't be overemphasized not to mention a relationship of a man and woman.

Personally, I wouldn't want to get married to someone who doesn't love me but he's wealthy, I would always prefer a man that loves me and a man I don't find it hard to respect. Money is definitely necessary and that's why I'm working hard so I can be able to provide for myself just enough and also for more people too before even thinking of settling down with a man. I don't want to be a liability to anyone's child because I know how hard that can be.

In my own part of the world, parents always want their children to get married to a man or woman that has money because they know that it won't be easy for their children if they go into marriage where there is no money or at least a source of income (there are some exceptions though as some parents are just greedy). In fact, not having money would make that marriage to be twice as tormenting. No matter how we try to be understanding to our partners, there will surely come a time when the absence of love and money would be felt.

Sadly, most of the youths of today no longer get married because of love but because of the money and it's only a matter of time before they realize the mistake they've made. Well, having love and money is just enough reason to get married to someone if you ask me, because when you love someone, you will always want to treat them right, be there for them when they need you the most, you will always want to know how they are doing and many more.

And adding money to love, I think that marriage union will be one of the best. When there is money in a relationship added to love, things will be a lot easier for both parties because most of the problems and challenges that may arise can easily be tackled with money and communication (love). I don't really think there is any other thing that I'd love to look out for besides these two things before getting married.

Of course in every relationship, there are always going to be misunderstandings and problems but when love and money are readily available, the joy in that relationship can easily be restored at every given point in time. And these two things has to be balanced if possible on both sides so it can work effectively as it should. When it's more of a one-sided something, it would be a problem too and that's why everyone's hands should be on deck.
