MONEY or LOVE, I want to believe that both are important in marriage. If you don’t love what you see, you may not want to go for it. On the other hand, especially among ladies, some are not interested in love.
I once heard a course mate of mine say “It is better for her to cry in money, than to love impoverished.”

I want to assume that we are all know that these two things, as important as they seem, cannot keep marriage. If they can, why do we have divorce everywhere? Both the rich and the poor are breaking up.
I came from a family where my parents always have one issue or the other. We are not rich, but my parents afford us with three square meals.
One day, I asked my parents. “Before you got married, didn’t you love each other?” Their response was, “Yes! We do love each other.” “Where then is the love? Because I cannot see anything like it.” I have seen ladies getting married because of money and within three months the marriage got separated.

This scenario made me discover that these two things are not the main things to look out for, as essential as they may seem. A songwriter once said “love is sweet when money is involved.”
There is a secret ingredient that is important that makes marriage worthwhile. Our forefathers know this secret and it has worked for them and made their home last.
What is this secret? It is called COMMITMENT. Commitment comes with countless responsibilities. It means total dedication to your spouse. Before you get married, there are some cogent questions to ask yourself. Will this person be committed to this marriage in the future?
Will it really be ‘For better, For worse’ or ‘For better for stay for worse to run away?’
Marriage is not for children. It requires hard work on both sides. Different things will happen in marriage that will drive you to give up as it has done with some. It is your being committed to the the fact that it is ‘For better, for worse’ that will make you endure.
The reality of life is that within one to two months of marriage, there is bound to be nostalgia. They wish to go back to their single days.
You must have heard of situations where some men will say, “I lost interest in my wife, because she lost her body shape after she had our first child.”
They forget the heart of commitment to their first love. On the contrary, when a man is committed to his wife, it will not be a problem.
Furthermore, some women after marriage will begin to make a fuss over their children and forget their husbands. As a married woman, your first commitment should be to your husband before your child/children. It is good to practice the act of balancing the scale in that aspect.
There are lots of issues that commitment can help us solve.
Love is good,Money is good; will you be committed?
