Blog prompt 3
In your opinion, is money important in a relationship? Consider the 'transactional' element observed in the relationships between the couples. Do you think there is an upward trend of relationships and marriages valuing money over other qualities? Provide examples for your responses.
My answer:
Money is not at all important in a relationship. One hears many phrases about the importance of money, such as: money is time, as good as gold, etc. However, one also hears many stories of how money has broken up families, as one party (usually the male), becomes increasingly obsessed with money, eventually ignoring the other party and his loved ones in his pursuit for wealth. After all these, many people are in two minds about money. Most come to the conclusion that money is important, but not in emotional and psychological aspects of life. However, some are unswayed in their perspective that money is all-important and omnipotent. I feel, however, that money is not important in matters of the heart. If one truly loves a person, he or she will try his or her uttermost to be with the person, against all odds. If one is only attached to another when he or she has money, it is not true love, but purely human greed. However, some who are lonely and rich may desire this kind of company, not being able to associate him or herself well with others. However, these relationships are short-lived. After leeching enough money from the rich, these 'friends' will leave him or her to pursue another victim. Therefore, I can conclude that money does not matter in a true relationship.

Hi, I totally disagree that money is not important in a relationship. Without money, how are couples going to date and eat and watch movie? Is that even possible? Everything requires money. I think you should sit on the fence and say that although money is important, love is more important as it is money, which enhances love. Thanks!
