what would you choose LOVE or MONEY?

[jadegil6]

From what I have witnessed, when a person falls in love, then logic usually goes out the window, and money or no money is of little importance.
I was told by a close (married) friend of mine in Biliran that many modern day filipinas are thinking more in terms of being practical rather than marrying for love. This means they are looking for a man who can offer security, and that requires a steady income. So she was telling me that many are choosing money over love for practical matters.

That is why it takes wisdom, wisdom to make decision in life.

The issue here is not only money but your commitment to be together for a life time.

As the book of Proverbs says, "For the Lord giveth wisdom, our of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding."

When you face decisions in life that will affect that present and future, ask God for wisdom. Like as I have said, King Solomon is the riches and wisest person in the Bible Character, he has everything, but he said, wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom. For wisdom is better than rubies and all that ye may desire are not to be compared to it.

I do not believe that when you fall in love, you are out of logic. That is what we call, stupidity. I know, I have experience that, that is why I am thankful that God always there to help me to be in tract despite my feelings are high or low. As the Scriptures say, love grows in knowledge and understanding. (I forgot the verse). That means, love will always know what is right and what is wrong. It is logical and it give you enlightenment, when you fall in love.

I see couples who are not really prepared, because they just depend on their feelings, they say "Okay we love each other", let's get married but after all they realize they are not.

It is always to have scriptural back up when it comes to decision, because it will always save you a lot of trouble.

Of course, when the Lord guides me to marriage, it is my prayer to be a life time commitment, a covenant between two in front of the Lord in the altar. How sweet to have a marriage life with love and joy in your heart. There is always a right time for everything, with right person and right timing. Just be patient it will surely come.

This is very confusing anyway. When you talk about love, it is important to a relationship. When you talk about money, it is also important in life, whether we like it or not.

In relationship, it is important to love one another. Do not marry if you do not love the person.

In my personality, part of me is that I can easily feel passion and sympathy. I cannot afford to see my niece and nephews if they ask me allowance or need at school, or what they need to buy. Also, when my sister ask me some amount, as much as I can, i try to provide and sometimes, i feel guilty if i cannot. Also, to be honest, I give because i know the feeling of nothing. When people came to office and those who have not eaten from fire incident, i try buy rice and viand, and let them eat.

Yesterday, I was not feeling well, and we contacted someone that massage here. Also some of my officemates also try to have massage from them. While doing massage, i hae learn from his wife that they have not eaten lunch yet, and they were hungry. It was already past 2pm and so the wife is pregnant. Then, to my sadness I double the payment for them to eat for lunch. So sad. I realize that there are people who are in need still out there.

your one of a million mm generous to others even a small amount that can get off there starving they can feel better that's a big for them.

i want to share this...in our barrio many street children door to door asking for some empty bottles and plastic container, sometimes if i have unused i try to give them and sometimes i think they starve coz they look pale, instead of money they ask for food i gave them left over foods so they can eat them right away and i think of some who ask for money they could buy it some rugby or cigar. im just pity of them thinking that they have parents to, one of them i ask where's your mother or father she tells at home, i wonder what they parents do? why they let there children do this? sometimes i pity for them and hate there parents doing nothing for there family.

We must be thankful the Almighty gave us brain to us more than our hearts. Love is important as we are loved by God first so we must love others too. On the other hand, money is what we barter, or exchange to buy something, thus it is important. we need both.

[cheryz]

yes we just need both Love and Money, we should have love and to give for others who is in need and who is more starve over us.
i learn from it even your not much as rich or middle class you can still give to other by giving some of dress that unused and extra foods for other who is needy.

From My Point of View I am Marrying For Love .. If She has Money Fine if Not Fine . But to Be Loved and hold Hands To Show the World Our Love ? That to Me is Priceless . But as Stated before Each one of Us has to Make that Choice in Life . I cannot blame a girl who Marry's for Money when She has been Poor Her Whole Life ? She may have a Son Or a Daughter and She is looking out For Her Child's Best Interest . That is a Good Mother as Family Comes First .

To be honest, wayne208, it is not my priority that a guy is wealthy or have lots to give to his gf or wife to be. What is important for us women is that our emotional need are met.

i think it doesnt matter about the lifestyle of a person as long as you love someone. in some instance we could say we need money for our basic needs for our own necessities and daily needs. but if both have work and love each other then i choose love it will follows.
