This Ís one question I keep asking myself.
Please help me out: Is love enough to keep a marriage or relationship? Is love enough even when the cash isn't there? Is love enough when your man has a side chick? Is loving a man enough reason to condone his man's excesses?
Is love, all that is required? Is love the ultimate?

Keep your love.


Give me Friendship and Lust.



And I will be yours forever.

Define Love? (50 marks)....




Then I'll come back to answer u.

Love, the Greatest of All

Sometimes, love isn't just enough

Love to me is actually far down the list...
What happened to understanding...
What happened to comfort?
What happened to mutual respect?
What happened to trust??
Love isn't the ultimate....sometimes bestfriends last longer than spouses simply because they have the above mentioned .....
Love without money is suffering
Love without trust or faithfullness is utter lust!

If you think so, what else will do? Maybe money

I might agree with all this. But I want to ask a question. When one is in a relationship with guy and he gives all of the above as an excuse not to say they love you. What Ðo would you say to that?

Ah get lady way get wahala oooooo make she carry go eh...!


Love aint anywhere near being enough.

Then I'll come back to answer u.

What love is to me may not be what it means to. For some men, love is making out, having sex. For some, it is just a feeling. For others, it's a responsibility, a commitment etc
As for your 50 marks.... Add it to yours

Deefuray:

All those listed are component of love. Love is not in Isolation, those ones and many more comprises love.

I beg to differ

Feel free

To answer this, you must have a concrete knowledge of what love really is.

Since u don't have a definition for Love like I thought u wudnt then there is no point going for it.

Go for building a family,making u and ur parner last forever. Solving the problems along d way. Loyalty,sincerity,understanding,selflessness,responsibility are words that are not as complex as Love.


I bet I deserve d 50 marks afterall.

Money plays a vital role.

Wen u choose someone to date, do u choose a pauper?

what if he's got potential but no money to show for it at the moment

If he's got potential, its good.

But wud u date a pauper?


"If u want to have clean clothes, u use water,soap,ur hands/machine, sun dry and iron them. Think of money as water, soap as loyalty, ur hands as reposibility, sunning as problem solving etc"
Combination of all ds components is wat make relationships work.

Not 1 entity, but a combination of entities.


# I hope I hav been able to convince n not confuse u that love aint enough...

"I love you"
Is a cliche.....a general mentality....
Many people feel once their partners can't say it then they don't love them..
I used to have this similar problem with my girlfriend, she hardly said those words..."I love you"
But she always showed she cared and loved me with her actions...
Then I stopped to think, my past relationships were I got "I love you" a lot didn't last as long as this one has, I didn't get as much love as I'm getting now....
THe phrase "I love you" has been said to be the biggest lie in too many relationships..
Altho everyone needs assurance, everyone needs to be told how important they are to their partners...
So if your partner doesnt use the word I love you, they should replace it with other phrases..
Such as I need you....I'm glad u r mine, I trust you, I adore you....or simple compliments like you are beautiful.....anything that could just keep ur partner in the know..

I'm personally of the opinion that a lady would gain much respect when she helps a man achieve his potentials and helps him materialize his dreams....
But a lady who is married into wealth could or might just be seen as another financial acquisition...


And why do people think all men with potentials are paupers?
U don't have to be stinkinly reach to be comfortable u know?

To keep any form of relationship u need love backed up with trust.

Potential to make money abi

It's the same thing young one ... some go after money they see now while others go after money they see tomorrow... if there ain't no money in the pic, there ain't no going...

So... stop with the sanctimonious posts.

You'll only be another financial acquisition if you don't come from wealth yourself and have no source of income.

I mean if your money can't do nothing for me and vice versa, we're in it solely for the companionship and happiness we bring each other, how is that not a good thing?

Marrying or dating a wealthy person is not as bad as you guys paint it and that you want a broke person doesn't mean your relationship will be perfect!!!
