tell-it-to-Thelma
I was reading thru “tell it to Thelma” column in the star newspaper the other day and there was this girl who wrote in, facing a dilemma on who to choose in her life, her boyfriend who needs to support his family, financially insecure and cant guarantee a marriage yet or the rich guy her family chose for her.
Thelma’s advice made me think..She asked a question that still keeps repeating in my mind. How much sacrifice can u make for love? Would u rather scrape daily to live for the sake of love or would u rather come home to luxury? Do u think u can be happy, just living and making ends meet for the man whom u love? Do u think u won’t have any regrets later because regret tarnishes the happiness in a marriage..?
It made me wonder, just how much does money matter in a relationship. Sure,easy to say I don’t want money, just your pure love is good enough but let’s think about it in a practical way, when it comes to marriage, money plays a certain role in it too. Im not saying love does not matter here but just wondering at the same time, how much money has influence to build or to destroy a relationship.
If I look back, my parents loved each other so much but when they got married, they were poor. both were working in government department but how much do they pay back then? But they were together though thick and thin and now both are leading a comfortable life and still love each other.
If I ask myself, I am not sure if money matters. Given a choice, I want a luxury life where I can get anything I want in a matter of seconds but two questions crop up in my mind.. would I be willing to sacrifice love for luxury and comfort, would I be willing to give up luxury for a simple life with the one I love..
Don’t get me wrong, im not being materialistic. I am clueless..money.just how much impact it has in a marriage?
Well, you know what, I guess love wins in the end, because when I die, I can’t take the luxury to my grave but I can die peacefully knowing that im loved and I am in love. Sacrifices made for love; I guess it’s worth it, the feeling more fulfilling than holding a thick wad of cash in your hands.
