Love or Money?

A bit of both.

Love. The other is not an alternative.

this, exactly

Love all the way!

H said to me about 3 months after our wedding when we having a tough time financially, that we might be skint but he is very happy. I agreed!

Love. Id rather be in love and skint than wealthy and alone.

Love all the way.

In quite an abstract way... I'd probably be earning more if I wasn't with H. I'd have focused a lot more on my career and likely chosen a path where I might be working much longer hours. Because of being with H from a younger age, I have prioritised a more family-friendly working environment. And I am blissfully happy with this. Not that we are in poverty I would like to add!

Love without doubt. Though it can put quite a strain on a relationship if you struggle continously.

Love all the way

What's the fun in being loaded and alone...

It's maybe a silly place to ask this on what is essentially a wedding forum, but as Kochanski pointed out about her last man, I think that for those who know what it's like to be in Love are the ones who tend to choose it over Money.

I'm the same as you Saisi, I'd have more money if it wasn't for my H too, but you don't miss what you never had! and we're happier for it!

Sorry for the "fluff" content of this post.

Love, its the one thing you will always have, either from a partner, family or friends!

everything else, especially money comes and it goes! (too quickly in my case! ?)

I fell in love with OH before I knew his family were quite well off. He personally is not totally loaded but his business definitely does OK, however if he changed jobs or lost it all it wouldn't affect my love for him.

I can completely relate to this! ?

Sames.

I have recently fallen out with a friend who is so bitter towards her friends who are either married or in long term relationships and happy. She is loaded, lives alone and has really changed over the past year or so and its become quite obvious as nastiness has been noted on more than one occassion. I wouldnt want to turn out like her, so love all the way.

We have no money but I love 'im indoors.

Choice made!

Definitely love. We (dont throw up) had "all you need is love" as our exit song at the wedding for that very reason. With me not being able to work dude to health reasons, there was a time before my pension was sorted when we really struggled financially but we got through and managed it because we are really tight as a couple.?? It would be lovely to be rich, dont get me wrong, but I never have been and you cant miss what you have never had. I have however been lonely and now that I have my H, as much as he annoys me at times, I wouldn't be without him for all the money in the world. *Runs and hides from the fluff police*

Love all the way! We are good at living by our means, and quiet content to have nights in instead of eating out etc. But, without money we wouldn't be getting married, so of course you need the latter too!

Without a doubt, love. We've never had much money and are both in low-wage jobs, but like others have said, you can't miss what you've never had.

This, exactly. I've dated men who appear to have it all, lovely house, car, kitchen of my dreams ? and come to realise, they don't have anything at all as they sit in said gorgeous houses, and cars alone!

So, love always comes first.

Love definitely.

We don't have a lot of money but it doesn't matter. Although it'd be nice to have more! ?

In our current circumstances I think Love as we don't have a lot of money and we get by and love being together.

However if we were absolutely desitute and/or homeless I think that the want/need for money would be a lot more prominent as at least then you know if you had money you could have a roof over your head and food to eat. Its all very well wanting love but it doesn't buy you life.

This. I find being the bread winner does but a strain on our relationship. That said I have never been with someone who earns more than me so I have no ideas of the alternatives.

I spent a few years as a single parent after my marriage breakup. I did 2 jobs and lived off my overdraft just to keep afloat. I would rather have no money than be in a loveless relationship.

LOVE all the way for me......

Exactly. Love all the way for me too.

Love. There's only so much shopping a woman can do.

It's good to see that on a wedding forum, Love is triumphing!

But! I do agree with those that mentioned that money problems would probably cause issues in relationships. It's like everything else. If something suddenly changes in a relationship, if you can't cope, then you are likely to end up with problems. It's just if and how you overcome them i guess!

...I should maybe have posted this on the WP thread....I can't help the fluff!

I've never had a lot of money so I know I can live without being rich but I also think security is important. I'd be worried sick if I didn't know how the bills were going to be paid or where the next mean was coming from but like Whitney said:

(If I lose my fame and fortune) And I'm homeless on the street, And I'm sleepin' in Grand Central Station, It's okay if you're sleepin' with me

As long as H was with me, I'd be okay. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
