A relationship is not only about getting physical. A relationship is a strong bond of, feeling, emotion, sentiments. It is based upon a thin line of understanding.
I like to share a funny little story . A teacher asked 'Mike' one of his student, what he want in life?. The boy student replied loads of money, a big house, few luxurious cars..and in short an expensive lifestyle. The teacher was shocked learning to know the long list. He then turned to 'Rita' one of his girl student. The teacher put up the same question and asked her to answer in two words to which she promptly replied "Mike's Wife."
Though it sounds very hilarious, the girl was very quick to make money for herself without doing much. Mike have already a loads of wish, by becoming Mike's wife, Rita can get all what she wanted in life. Does that mean life and relationship is all about money? Money plays an important thing in everybody life. It helps in fulfilling all the need of life. But lately there have been news of broken marriage or disputed relationship over money.
stone structure from my archive
Relationship is actually a bond between two souls with differrnt mind. And to sustain the relationship money plays an important part. Man has always been a bread earner while women are the house maker. a queeny bee remain in their hive while the worker bee, work for her. It happens that women sometimes demand too much which was not possible for men to fulfill. The end result is distorted life.
There is phrases from Ramayana which says.
धीरज धर्म मित्र अरु नारी।
आपद काल परिखिअहिं चारी।।
Patience, Religion, Friend and Woman - all these four are tested only in times of calamity and tough times.
In Ramayana, Sita left all the glory and charm for husband Rama and went on to exile with him.
Nowadays, we have seen many instances that shortage of money ending up many relationships. May be both the partner try to manage for few years and try to accommodate, but at the end, they understand that without money they do not have loving life. Mostly it is seen with women to give up easily. Either she choose to work to earn money or look out for some other relationship.
The recession time is going on and many big organisation are laying off their workforce. I was just assuming what impact does it create in a relationship. Do we see a major broken relationship. Time will tell but definatelly, being a Man I was just wondering how a relationship exists without money.
PS : I am without money for last 5 years. And I am still in same relationship. I am utilizing my saving. Not sure how things unfolds once it gone.
The reason of putting g up this question in #loh is to see their perspective. No offense to anyone.
