Economics is always the major determinant in any relationship. When I say "economics," know that it is not always about money, but opportunity costs and other benefits (some of which you highlighted).

All relationships are inherently transactional in nature. No one maintains an interaction that does not benefit them either financially, emotionally, physically, spiritually, socially, and/or psychologically. There is always an exchange of benefits and that is the Koko

Phabulous4:
This thing you said has its limits. In courtship relationship, yes are right, and that should be the started.

However, if your are referring to a relationship in the context of marriage? then you are wrong. My own view!

The Bible, which is the author and model for the idea of marriage, clearly states that a man who cannot provide for his family is worse than an infidel. The same principle applies to a wife who cannot submit to her husband.

Sex and provision are integral parts of a marital relationship, and I am referring specifically to marriage because that is the only context in which these two should even come into play. They are not accessories, or reward package; they are part of the foundation. why try to remove them to make a point or make them seem less important.

The base of any solid relationship is shared values, light should not be yoked with darkness. All other things follow. However, the fact that shared values form the foundation does not place them above everything else in hierarchy; it only means they come first.

Many men dont know this. They keep wasting money on Eve's

Zocalite:
Which Bible chapter and verse can that your statement be found?

Awesome01:
Wrong !. Better date who likes you more than you like him or her.

Speaking from experience.

Let’s stop asking “What do you bring to the table?” and start asking:
“Can we build a new table together?”

Let’s strip relationships down to their core. No filters. No fluff.

Imagine this:
Remove sex from a relationship and suddenly, many men discover that the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual value they hoped for… isn’t there.

Remove money from a relationship and many women begin to question the purpose of staying.

This isn’t a jab. It’s a wake-up call.

We’ve built a culture where transactional intimacy has replaced transformational connection. Where physical access and financial support are mistaken for love, loyalty, and legacy.

But here’s the truth:
✅ If sex is the glue, the bond will break.
✅ If money is the magnet, the attraction will fade.
✅ If purpose, growth, and shared values aren’t present then what’s left?

Relationships must evolve beyond survival economics and sensual convenience.
They must become partnerships of purpose, alliances of ambition, and safe spaces for soul-level growth.

The future belongs to couples who:
- Build empires, not just memories
- Exchange wisdom, not just pleasure
- Invest in each other’s evolution, not just each other’s comfort

This is the era of conscious coupling.
Where love is not a transaction but a transformation.

With masturbation you cannot eat your cake and have it.., you cannot make wealth and keep health...

you think by masturbating you are saving cost.., what you do not know is that your health is depreciating ..,.

Porksupplyib:
You have said it all. All relationship are transactional.

judewrites:
Removing sex and money from relationships is like removing sugar away from ants.

Hardly anyone won't venture in if they are absent.

But true love is absent from many relationships today_ surprisingly, even marriage.

gentlegenius:
Very true...
You see, one of the sad realities of life is that everything we call relationship is transactional. Even the relationship between you and your family members, your friends and even your God.
Most of the people that hangs around you are simply there because of what they can benefit from you.That's why everyone wants to be friends with the rich, but desert the poor.
How about God?
Almost everyone that goes to church or tries to have a relationship with God, are doing so not because they love God, but simply because they expect or believe God to do certain things for them. People also try to relate with God because they fear that evil may come upon them if they don't do so.
How about Pastors/men of God?
Remove tithes, offerings and other financial benefits and 95% of them will run away from ministry. Church/ministry is where you'll see the height of transactional relationship. Very unfortunate.

JooEeL:
With sex, u ejaculate.

With masturbation, u ejaculate.

How's health depreciating in one and not depreciating in the other?

jiggyman:
I removed those in our relationship, we are married now lol.

Thats why side chick's are crucial

Obakoolex:
Remove the aforementioned during courtship and you get the realest and best relationship.

That was my relationship with my darling wife when we courted, I had 5k home and away when I met her but she believed in me and my dreams now people wonder why I spoil her

Who says virginity is not a great virtue, am having a wonderful life with peace of mind.
