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.
Now onto the second question. Yes, I do agree that there is an upward trend of relationships or marriages valuing money over other qualities. In our modernised world, the only way to survive is with money. In the past, yes I do agree that money was not that important but now... its a whole different story. Money can basically do anything. A very common example would have to the celebrities. In my experience most renowned actors or even musician, get relationships with people in the same "social class" as them, they can't bare dating a person of a lower class than them. To add on, the people the marry must of course be earning big bucks starring in movies or even releasing albums.

Yo Wei Jin! I agree that money plays a minimal role because only the love matters. And after marriage comes family really makes sense and after the blogs I've seen about money and relationship topics, yours is the only one that mentioned about the relationship after marriage and this made the topic deeper. I disagree that the celebrities would not marry someone just because of social status. Not all celebs are like this. There is only a handful of them and the way you said it sounded like you are referring to all celebrities. Only those handful would do that because they do not want to lose 'face'.
ReplyDeleteI agree that in marriage, the need for money is minimal and that most of the time it is cause the family requires it. However, i believe that there is a upward trend with marriages emphasizing inner qualities rather than money. anyway, that is my opinion. still, this post showed me the different side of that argument
ReplyDeleteWell said Weijin! I agree with your opinion! What i like the most is the part when you said that there is only one happiness. We love because He first love! Comment on my blog!(:
ReplyDeleteHi weijin, this is Darrel. Though I like the analysis of this post, I think you should not stereotype by saying that the higher end people would only look for the higher end people as you do not have the factual evidence to prove so. Also, not all the wives of a rich or influential person are skilled, educated or rich, there may really be true love between them. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that the need for money is minimal. It should have been minimal but due to the high standard of living, the need for money is increasing. I believe that in a relationship, it is the qualities we should look for instead of the money. I disagree with what you say that' most renowned actors or even musician, get relationships with people in the same "social class" as them, they can't bare dating a person of a lower class than them. ' This is not the case. 1 example is Prince William and Kate Middleton. Kate is of a lower class compared to Prince William. But there is love between them.
