So, is money important in a relationship? In my opinion, it is not necessarily so. But, I can agree money is only a small factor in a relationship and I think that true love is the real major factor in a relationship. However, I will not be with someone that is necessarily rich. I will only consider the amount of love between us. Think, will the relationship between a couple be a blissful one if it is only for money? The answer is no of course. There will not be care towards each other and their mindset will be just full of tactics to get hold of neach other's money. However, money is something that a couple should work together for in order to make their lives more comfortable and better. If a relationship started because o money, this relationship will not last at all because there is not any true love between the two of them. I feel that we should not start a relationship because of money nor even trying to play with other's feelings and cheat them of their money.
I think that there is an upward trend of relationships and marriages valuing money over other qualities especially, love. Nowadays, people are getting more materialistic. They only value a relationship for money. They only want to live off the other person just because he is rich. They only care about money. What is so special about having money? Everyone should know that love is something that money cannot buy with. Thus, I feel that we should try to treasure love as much as we can. Money does not matters. It is true love that actually matters.
Hi DARRYL JJ LING,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that although love is very important in a relationship, money still plays a small part in the relationship. I agree also that nowadays as people become more materialistic, they value money more in a relationship. However, so far of what I know, teenagers do not actually value money that much in a relationship, it is usually those in their middle-age that looks for money in a relationship. I suppose this is because they are more mature and materialistic as what you have said. Overall, your blog is a nice and meaningful one.

Hi Darryl Li Yuan here. In fact, this post is very similar to our posts, but there is a sentence that caught my attention and make me decided to leave a comment. The sentence is "What is so special about having money?". This is a very good question. Some may think that money is currency, some may think that money is the most basic needs for life, and some may even think that money is "god". However, money is just a resource from my point of view, or more accurately, money is just something that you can use to get something you need. So what is so special about having money? It is just owning some ready-made resource. So why is money so special?
ReplyDeleteDear Darryl,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that money is not important in a relationship. True love bring true happiness. Fake love bring money, so what? Being miserable with someone you don't really like for money, is it worth it?
People are getting more and more materialistic. Money seems to be an important factor in a relationship. That is supported by drama serials that features this frequently. Whatever that is on drama serials must be true in life. For instance, the director of the drama serial may have seen people valuing money in relationships. Hence, it is acted out in dramas. Therefore, there is certainly an upward trend of people valuing money more in relationships.
Thank you,

Hi I am Sebastian. It seems like almost everyone feels that money is not more important than real love so I have nothing much to comment about that. But for the second part of your post, you should give some examples to further elaborate on your point.
ReplyDeleteDear Darryl,
ReplyDeleteI am Jerome. I agree with you that love is more important than money in a relationship. Only with love will there be long-lasting and true happiness. People are indeed trying to cheat the other party's feelings when they marry themn only for money. That is true. But sometimes, this does not occur because the marriages are forced and the person does not have a choice.
I disagree with you that there is an upward trend of people marrying for money. People nowadays are busy in the hectic society and long for someone to care and love for them. They no lobnger want money anymore. Furthermore, they already have quite high-paid jobs now as more people are educated.
Overall good blog prompt.

Sorry, I think you are right. I actually agree with you that there is an upward trend in marriages for money. I was only considering the trend in Singapore's context which is not good. In other parts of the world, like India and Afganistan, there are many forced marriages by family members as they want money. The other party may also force the other party to marry him as he is rich and everyone will agree to that. Singapore alone is not a good data analysis. In Singapore, it is a more developed country so there may be bound to be lesser people interested in money. But for the poorer countries, they will always want money. So overall, it is still an upward trend of marriages over money
