Does Money Make A Relationship Last Longer?

BY IYANDA   •   October 9, 2015   •   1 MIN READ

Not all relationships are designed to last the distance—some crumble even before they get started. These days it is very difficult to find a relationship or marriage that lasts the distance. One of the reasons many people have given as the reason why these relationships crumble is lack or inadequate money exchanging or changing hands. People are of the view that it is near impossible for a relationship to last the distance when the other partner is not that financially buoyant. They link virtually every problem in relationships to lack of money. This brings us to the question: does money make a relationship last longer?

Does money play a vital role in terms of how long and healthy a relationship would be? Would you dump or abandon your relationship if your partner lacks the ability to meet your material needs? Without being hypocritical about this; do you feel you can marry and stay married to a man that has no serious means of livelihood regardless of how much you love him? How does it feel loving a man who does not have the financial muscles to meet your needs? Do you feel like walking out of the relationship?

Do you envy your friends whenever you see them dating rich and highly influential boyfriends?
