Good day everyone, it's another day this week, and I want to talk about Love or Money in marriage. So before I proceed I will first talk about love and money.

Love is all about deep connections, happiness, and emotional fulfilment while Money on the other hand, can provide security, comfort, and the ability to enjoy life's pleasure. It depends on what brings you true happiness and fulfilment. Some people value love more than money, they also find joy, happiness, etc., while some prefer money to love because it solves problems such as buying expensive things, making hair, solving financial problems etc., it now depends on people's thoughts and choices.
You know, some people will love you not because they truly love you but because of the money the person has, but immediately the person doesn't have the money again, the other one will run away. That shows that they only love just because of money, not because they truly love.

I watched this movie (THE PERFECT SCAR) it's a Nollywood movie. The guy was a celebrity (actor), he had a girlfriend whom he spoiled the girl by buying her expensive gifts. So, one day, the guy had an accident and his face was not smooth again, one part was ok while the second part got burnt, since then, the girl started misbehaving with the guy, she was ashamed to show the guy to any of her friends, anytime the guy ask her that he wants to follow her out, she will refuse him, since then, the guy doesn't have any option but to stay at home.
The girl hired a house maid to be cooking for the guy when he complained that she was not cooking for him again. To cut the story short, the girl left him for another guy that has money and it was the house maid that helped him throughout his situation and also encouraged the guy to do face surgery that would surely help. They consulted a doctor and the doctor said he could do surgery but his face would show the sign of the scar there, so he went to do the surgery and it was successful. When his ex-girlfriend saw how his face has been changed and that he was getting more money, she came back telling him that she still loved him not knowing that the house maid was already in love with the guy.
So what I am trying to say is that if the guy didn't do the surgery, she would surely not return to the guy. This is how some girls are running after money but not love. It will be better if we ladies work for our money than depending on a guy who will give us the money. That's why you will see ladies marrying rich men, it's not because they love but because their love definition is "money" and it will take time to see any lady or guy that will love someone more than money.
Aside from this, though love and money are important, that isn't enough to sustain a marriage but lots of factors like communication, honesty, trust, and commitment make a marriage stand strong and when love and money are included, that makes it a thriving marriage.
Thank you for reading from me today.
