Mykyle: well said, since money can not make him/her love but otherwise, then love supercedes.......money is just needed in necessary amount n must not be a yardstick to stay together.

duby91: Read responses from here and am like we all do have our opinion and we're entitled to have one...so here is mine. Money is important for me as a guy dating a lady because i will want to take her out and spend quality time with her and have fun and all this require money. And if necessary i can extend and help my lady with some of her needs regardless whether i really love her or not. But here is my problem, when ladies begin to make it look like without money then am gone, because the guy doesn't give her soo much money. That's just irritating and also when a lady takes you to be her father whereby you buy her clothes, phone, pants, pay her house rent and prolly get her a car all in the name of just dating her. That's just way too much and that's the thing most ladies ask for nowadays and if you can't do that...they are gone for good. With that does that make money so important in relationships? or just to dash someone in the name of dating?

scribble: Money shouldnt be that important but society has put money on a higher pedestal than love

look at shade okoya or remi tinubu...their husbands have one thing in common, they look like they auditioned for shrek but were too ugly for the part and have tons of GWAP

university girls today are not interested in their mate but they want a ready made man

for the few in this our society who do not put money over love, there is a different kind of vibe there...more happiness in the relationship

for instance i know a guy who was dirt broke as at 24 months ago but has a growing business that has already made N10 million this year

his babe used to come visit him even in that his broke state and give him prayers, love and MONEY (i know its hard 2 beliv bt there are some good naija girls left)

the guy is planning the wedding now...and is buying her a car etc...

she didnt know he would be this better off 24 months ago, but she gave love a chance

in Naija of today...most girls would rather go to vgc and sleep with oyinbo man dog than to give love a chance

diksucker: We all need money to live. We need money to have fun. If you are truly in love with someone, money will not matter. I am 27, not married and I've dated men of all statuses...broke, rich, in between (my level). I will be completely honest, I had the best relationship with the broke guy. We were really in love, we had great sex and always had fun. Enjoyed his company the most and I still think about him. Other factors played a part and we broke up, but I always think of him as the one who got away.. In my opinion if you love someone, you love someone. If money is important to you, then you will find it to be important in relationships. If you have money and your partner doesn't, that can cause stress. And vice versa... At the end of the day, what is important to you? I say this all the time, but if you are happy, truly happy then that is ALL that matters : ) good luck!

Orikinla: To pay your bills.
Anyone who cannot pay his or her bills is a liability in every relationship.
And liabilities are bad news in relationships.

lalasticlala: No doubt, money is a desideratum in a relationship. But, some couples started with nothing, but today they are very much comfortable.

Many guys are unmarried because of lack of financial stability. The high cost of bride price and other things associated with traditional marriage rites dont even encourage some low income earners to start thinking of marriage.

You see babes dump their guys for richer ones.

Below is a link to one of my threads which talks about women that said they can't date any poor man, in fact they detest poor men.

So what's your take on money in a relationship?

How important is money in a relationship?

irishCream: There is a very big different between 'truth' and 'fact'. money is vital in a relationship and that's the fact not just truth!!!

teeowl: yes money matters a lot because personally I would never get in a serious relationship with a jobless girl (unemployed or no income) or student. Really... all they do is put their financial problem on your head.

write2obi: Money is important in life,
money makes things easy, earn you respect,
money will sweeten your relationship, but it will never make her love you.

Tallesty1: I don't believe a couple can start with nothing. It is untrue and impossible, there must be something.


Money is important as the person you are dating. You will not understand this if a naija babe has not dealt with you.

bustyhelen: very, if you want there to be a future.i would immediately dump a guy if he had a gambling problem also i would tend not to even start anything with a guy without a steady job or tertiary eduction or good business prospect. you gotta think long term when the honeymoon period wears off

dupsydee: Pls ao do I get to isolo from ibadan

papaking1:

I beg to disagree. Money will buy love any day. Just don't lose the money and the love will remain constant.

BoboYekini: End of. Money is important to take care of YOUR bills. Not your girlfriend's bills. Don't get it twisted.

bayulll01:
if they say Nigerian youth are silly,you will be the first to rant,Becos that mofo want to see reelection now,he brought up TAN and u are happy,they already sold ur future for 30k mumu

creamylicious: Money is important. Very very I'd say. A guy in his mid thirties who is not ashamed to bring his girlfriend under a roof which his elder brother put over his head and be claiming he wants to get married. Ask what his plans are in getting a home and he can't even raise cash in d next six months. Is the lady who is of a marriageable age expected to be in such penniless relationship?
