What The Love Really Needs
Love cannot be defined.
You can look up "love" in the Merriam-Webster and a definition will appear, but, really, there's no one-way to define it. The greatest part about love is that we create our own definition. It isn't your place to define it for others. Love, a four-letter word, can mean so many different things to different people. Some people don’t even believe in love. Love can be all sweet and rosy, and filled with happily ever after, but that’s not the reality we live in. Wake up and smell the coffee. You have to differentiate between fantasy and reality. The reality is that love can precede heartbreak, you let yourself to love fully then the person that you gave your love crushed you, pulled you into toxic relationship, the one-sided love. Love also can mean allowing oneself to be known and at the same time accepting another person "as is" can create a deep meaningful connection. Within that connection there will be conflict, power struggle and growth. And when love nudged with money, it will make another definition.
Does love need money? Love and money are two different things from one another, which can never be compared. Both have different values in our life. Love is the reason you live and money is needed to live, to make the world go around. What can I say? I've been married for seven years and ten years of having a relationship with the same person. For me, love is money is when you are married. Money here played an important role in marriage, you gotta feed your child(ren), pay bills, go on vacation, go shopping, etc. When you have money, then at least you will have one less problem. Money is needed in order to survive. Money is a security, a peace of mind. But money isn't everything.
Love involves feeling. A famous quote that says money can't buy happiness is true, for some people at least. Take example the well-known couple Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, both are beautiful, renowned celebrities, popular, and of course they are rich, but divorce was inevitable. They said that there weren't sparks anymore. I learned the hard way that love could eventually run out if you can’t maintain it despite being initially madly in love with each other. In a nutshell, love is important. Don't ever think it's’ not. But don't ever think it is possible to survive in this world without money. Both are dependent upon on one another. And also we can't compare both these, if one is life then other is necessary for life. What’s more important above all is happiness.
Happiness is a choice, nothing wrong with choosing money before love if that’s made you happy. Also, choosing emotional security is not wrong so you choose love before money. The choice is made based on what’s more important to you and what’s made you happy.
