Cecediva: Can true love exist in poverty?

I have asked people around but nobody seems to give me a direct answer.

Your opinion please

love isnt about money but charecter and attitude.poverty in a family is a responsbilty of both parties, the man and the woman so thats out of it.but your attitude in the said poverty matters even if the future doesnt seem bright,as long as the future of the kids are good enuff.
Both parties need to be strong and focused on the important things like the kids and their future.the kids must be thought proper manners and even though they cant get the basics of life but need to have education even if its public school the parents find time to teach them at home ,assist them with home work e.t.c you have to raise responsible children with bright futures.this should keep you going and knowing your old age wont be as hard as it s now.

Basically its about keeping a modest family,debt free,and above all constant reminders of the negative effect the porvety can have on your love life and try to work things out together and keep the love up.

But most men"s attitude changes when they are broke some for good and some for bad..

Dorrobucci: Someone is poor when he/she cannot provide his/her basic needs.

hmn...

pro01: For love to be "true", it MUST be unconditional. In other words, artificial considerations such as wealth, beauty, status, 'swag', etc. should not underpin the feeling of love. After all, isn't that the basis for the saying, 'love is blind'?

Anyways, considering that the majority of people - including couples - in Nigeria (and the world in general) are poor, it would be somewhat unreasonable to suggest that "true love" does not exist in their relationships. In fact, one might even argue that "true" love can only exist in poverty and misery - since such unpleasant conditions reinforce the unconditional essence of love in its purest form.

I believe people fall inlove based on what they stand to gain, because i have never seen someone loving a broke person before. Most of the couples nowadays stay together not becos they are truely inlove

Dorrobucci: Have you seen one before? Don't be deceived about how they act in your presence, na wash

Just because you have never seen a poor couple hanging on in love, does not mean they don't exist.
Niggur, you don't knoweth all. You haven't seen all!

Dorrobucci: POVERTY IS A BASTARD

POVERTY WILL MAKE YOU HUMBLE INSTANTLY

SAY NO TO POVERTY

Lmao

lilmax:

You maintained a guy must be rich enough before he involves himself in a relationship, I only gave an opinion that a girl too, must be able to take care of herself financially, before entering a relationship.
The guy should not bear all the financial burden of the girl.

What are you trying to find out ? Is your guy so poor ?

Poverty is a social construct.

A contented man is a rich man - Aristotle

A contented home is a rich and happy home.

maputohq:
I'm not in any relationship. Do u imaging yourself loving someone for no reason since you stated that “I love you because... ” is not love... I just don't think it is possible.

Couples in poverty stick together still clauming they love themselves, let a rich man begin to shower some care (in terms of money) on d woman, then u will know that she's having other thoughts...only few women/ladies would resist this.

Love in poverty will only be determined by how much anyone of the parties involved can withstand intimidations from a richer fellow.

yes,true luv can exist with poverty.,
But i tell my frnds dat 4 a relationship to start,dere must b attraction!!
Nw a girl is walking on d street nd is stopped nd wooed by a keke driver or apple seller...She go gree

Mintayo: There thousands of poor people in Nigeria who are happily married. Some of them don't even know that they are poor, because they are satisfy with what they have.

Well said!

hmmm.....initially,i usually say its possible for love to exist wen dere s poverty....but,now wey my eyes don open n c d oda syd of life.....my dear,na money dey ginger love ooo....

I keep having problem with our defination of poverty because we only think poverty is associated with lack of money.......

Whereas its not so,
so, when u ask about poverty...... let be definate about what we mean. So things don't muddle up

It could be poverty of idea
poverty of goals
poverty of forsight
aspiration
intelligence etc.......

No not that kind of poverty,though i won't call that poverty anyway. The one am refering to is the REAL POVERTY . i.e A situation whereby you can't provide ur basic needs of life

okparaugo: What are you trying to find out ? Is your guy so poor ?

Lol... Is he not ur brother?

pweedyuz:
Poverty of ideas
Im pretty sure its money he s talking about...

yes..... their is poverty of ideas
that was is worrying our country...... we have the resources but like ideas and will power to make good use of it

if its money.......... Then love looks beyound money.

Agape love is the altimate

but, real looks at the future worth in contrast to the present worth....... because it looks at the other object with respect to happiness, joy, health, satisfaction, understanding and the altimate...... Life beyond this place

Cecediva: No not that kind of poverty,though i won't call that poverty anyway. The one am refering to is the REAL POVERTY . i.e A situation whereby you can't provide ur basic needs of life

monentary aspect to have grades ooo
we have chornic poverty
situation poverty
fluctuation poverty etc

but........ may any never befall us sha....
So, i don't think about poverty.... because i believe this phrase that 'whatso ever a man thinket so he his'

Cecediva: hmm...so you don't believe in true love in poverty?

its n0t advisable you jus bec0me a lability to each other when d man is stil struggling to eat 3square meal how do u want him 2tink of luv. Not neccesarly he has 2giv d lady m0ney but he has to do his duty as a man "provide" What does he hav 2 offer d w0man. Lets face reality.

angela98: Yes it can. It depends on the foundation of ur relationship. In poverty u can make the most of what u have. More so, if u both are contented and maintain your own lane, why not? It also depends on what the couple sees as important in their relatiobship. I can date a poor man and enjoy the relationship wella. Life is not stagnant you know. Humans are intrepid we carry on.

wow, this is a real woman. My girl I love so much just disappointed bc I doesn't give her enough according to her buh I care so much for dis that forfeit anything to make her happy. Buhhhhhhhh

okumbe: wow, this is a real woman. My girl I love so much just disappointed bc I doesn't give her enough according to her buh I care so much for dis that forfeit anything to make her happy. Buhhhhhhhh

Dont worry u will find another girl who would appreciate you and sincerely love u for u. Unfortunately, some women thinks that money is d in thing in a relationship but it ain't. Where there is love and understanding, both of u can work together to succeed..

Although I agree with this. . .

neutralwaya: Poverty is a social construct.

I do not agree with this!

Things like 'class', beauty, sophistication, etc are social constructs because they are artificial and subjective, but poverty is as real as life itself. It is certainly not a social construct, especially when it is abject.

When a family's house rent is overdue and they are eventually evicted from their home and end up homeless; when one's children are thrown out of school because of unpaid school fees; when it becomes increasingly difficult to eat even one decent meal a day - and the kids are severely malnourished due to acute hunger. . . .my brother, poverty is damn real.

Of course bro, poverty is real. But it can be tackled and uprooted fundamentally, if efforts are made.... And the digital age will bring about a near end to poverty with time.....

How do you intend to tackle and uproot poverty fundamentally? Am waiting for your reply

Spot on I still want to know if true love can still exist in this kind of condition.

Most of us our parents had nothing when they met, some absolutely nothing when they even got married, sometimes even had to borrow to eat, only true love does that cos they both know the only thing constant in life is change and as time went on things got better and better for them, u ll be surprised what some wealthy families today went through before they got to where they are right now. That's true love, standing by eacthother nomatter what. Kudos to our Parents.
